Hi and a very warm welcome to "The FIFA World Cup." A Fascinating
Book Containing World Cup Facts, Trivia, Images & Memory Recall
Quiz: Suitable for Adults & Children. I'm one of those people
who loves to hear about extraordinary facts or trivia about
anything. They seem to be one of the few things my memory can
actually recall. I'm not sure if it's to do with the shock or the
"WoW" factor but for some reason my brain seems to store it for a
later date. I've always been a great believer in that whatever the
subject, if a good teacher can inspire you and hold your attention,
then you'll learn Now I'm not a teacher but the system I've used in
previous publications on Amazon seems to work well, particularly
with children. This edition includes a selection of those "WoW"
facts combined with some pretty awesome pictures, if I say so
myself At the end there is a short "True or False" quiz to check
memory recall and to help cement some of the information included
in the book. Don't worry though, it's a bit of fun but at the same
time, it helps to check understanding. If you're an expert on this
subject then it's unlikely you will find anything new here but if,
like me, you enjoy learning unusual facts with interesting pictures
then I think you'll love it. Let me know what you think using the
Customer Review Page section. Feedback is crucial to any author but
please remember that I do have feelings. Enjoy the show Matt.
