The Not-for-parents Travel Book: Cool Stuff to Know about Every Country in the World<\/a>, by Michael Dubois, Jane Price, and Katri Hilden. Lonely Planet: 2011. 208 pages.<\/p>\n

“Everyone knows which is the world’s highest mountain, but do you know which country banned chewing gum? Or what’s the world’s stinkiest fruit? Or who invented roller skates? Or which building leans more than the Leaning Tower of Pisa? Or where can you eat fried spiders as a snack?<\/p>\n

“In this book are the epic events, amazing animals, hideous histories, funky foods, and crazy facts that make the world’s 200 countries so fascinating. Each country has a page to itself-so tiny Tuvalu gets as much space as superpower USA.”<\/p>\n

We heard about this (secular) book in a recent blogpost<\/a> from our friends at the family ministry, Weave. They recommend it as a resource for redeeming the time you and your kids spend in the car. Good plan! Reader reviews suggest some contents might not be appropriate for your youngest ones, though.<\/p>\n
