Me- Today I am recommending Mind = Blown Amazing Facts About This Weird Hilarious World by Matthew Santoro. This was a very interesting book. It was exciting to learn all the facts that were in the book. I found the section on Animal Avengers especially interesting probably because I love animals. I hope Matthew Santoro comes out with a sequel to this book because I'd love to read that too. I would recommend this book for anyone who likes to know interesting facts about different things.
Mom - Today I am also recommending Mind = Blown Amazing Facts About This Weird Hilarious World by Matthew Santoro. Matthew Santoro is a YouTuber whose videos are full of interesting and entertaining facts, and now he has put some of that information into a book.

I read a history of the Star Spangled Banner that puts the song into context. It is too long to type up, but it makes you listen to the song differently. Phrases like "rockets red glare", don't really make much sense without the history and perspective of when and why the song was written.
