Uncle John’s Smell-O-Scopic Bathroom Reader for Kids Only!
Short on time? This book’s sections are divided into lengths: short, a quick read; medium, up to two pages; and long, up to five pages. It is filled with quick facts, stories, antidotes, and, most importantly, for KIDS ONLY!
You are in for a treat if you have never heard of the Uncle John Bathroom Reader Series. My kids have several of these books, and they are not only fun but also informative. You can keep these lying around to flip through, and your kids (or you) might pick up a few interesting facts. Both of my sons enjoyed looking at this book. It a great book to keep kids who don’t really like to read engaged because the stories are short and it covers many topics to keep them wanting more.
Uncle John gathered together the best trivia writers he could find and charged them with the task of combing the worlds of science, history, sports, politics, and pop culture to compile dozens of interesting articles that could be absorbed in just a few minutes.“Every article must be simple to read,” he told us, “and every page must either have an amazing fact or a good laugh—or both.”

These books are so creative and fun. Kids get a laugh and learn, too.
I like books likes these because kids can learn without “really” knowing they are learning and absorbing fun tidbits.
