Learning loads of facts is boring, right? Not with this book! Get
your quiz on to become the ultimate expert on sport. This book is
the ultimate combination of facts and fun. Each chapter has loads
of fast facts followed by a short quiz, which makes it the perfect
tool for revising for a test or for becoming the quizmaster of the
universe. It covers a huge range of topics, from kite surfing to
karate, takes a look at some famous sporting moments and iconic
stars, and dives into the speed, skills, moves and acrobatic feats
that make sports so exciting to read about. These books are
designed as a companion resource for children studying core

as the quiz sections are spaced evenly throughout, it can make the
challenge less overwhelming. Readers can choose to read a section
and then answer those questions, or read the book and then attempt
the whole quiz in one go. It can be used to test themselves, test
their friends or as a ready-made resource for teachers in need of a
pop-quiz for their class. Suitable for children aged 8+ who are
studying Space as part of the Key Stage 2 curriculum. Also perfect

In 1964, when Walt Disney and his brother Roy decided to build a
second theme park in the Florida swamplands, they kept it super
hush-hush. Why? Well, if word got out that they planned to buy up
lots of land, the price would have skyrocketed. So the Disneys
cleverly covered up their trail, avoiding the Orlando airport and
even using made-up names, like Walt and Roy Davis, for their
flights. The deception worked. In covering the history of the "Most
Magical Place On Earth," Joan Holub takes readers both behind the
scenes and underneath the park (there are secret employee-only
tunnels that form one big circle under the Magic Kingdom). Loaded
with fun facts, this book is a great companion to Who Was Walt
Disney?
