From cheese rolling races to baby crying competitions, get ready for an adventure through the most amazing contests the world has ever seen.
Throughout history humans have been challenging themselves against each other. Who could be the fastest? The strongest? The cleverest? While this was going on some other people decided to create epic contests that were…well, a little bit more unusual.
Welcome to The Mind-Blowing World of Extraordinary Competitions, introduced by podcaster and expert fact-finder Anna Goldfield! Inside this nonfiction audiobook, prepare to get your mind blown by:
• The people that take ironing boards up mountains
• A spectacular pumpkin rowing race
• Beauty pageants…for camels!
Through the stories of these awesome competitions, listeners will learn about the societies that created them, and the amazing traditions that inspired them.
Filled with fun facts, it’s a perfect audiobook for fans of Guinness World Records!
A Macmillan Audio production from Neon Squid.
Anna Goldfield is a podcaster, science writer, illustrator, archaeologist, and creator of all sorts of content to introduce people to the study of the world around us and its past. Anna works on the kids’ science podcast Brains On! and presents the popular archaeology podcast The Dirt.
Neon Squid creates beautiful nonfiction books for inquisitive kids (and kids at heart). We believe the most amazing stories are real ones, so our books are for children who want to decipher ancient scrolls, orbit distant stars, and dive into the deepest oceans. Our books are a labor of love—written by experts, illustrated by the best artists around, and produced using the finest materials, including sustainably sourced paper. We hope that by reading them kids are encouraged to further explore the world around them.
Picture Book is proud to partner with Libro.fm to give you a great audiobook experience.
