I love Bathroom Readers ! Theyre interesting and funny. I cant stop reading them.

Im a teacher, and every morning I put a factoid from your books on the board. I have kids who cant wait to get to class to see what weird thing is on the board that day. You are a never-ending source of information and enjoyment. Thank you.

Elly

I have been a fan of the Bathroom Reader for over a decade now. Maybe one day there will be a whole course on bathroom reading, and quoting your text will not only be expected and encouraged, but required!!!

GREETINGS FROM UNCLE
KNOW-IT-ALL

Okay, nobody can know everything not even Uncle John. But its fun to know a little about a lot of different subjects. Thats where your faithful friends at the Bathroom Readers Institute come in. We love to collect fascinating facts and tantalizing trivia. Then we quiz each other: Hey, Brian, did you know that you can hear an elephants stomach rumble from 200 yards away? Or, Hey, Patrick, did you know that only 1% of the water on Earth is drinkable? Or, Hey, Stephanie, did you know that spiders sometimes get trapped in their own webs? We could go on all day (and night) doing that, couldnt you?

Hey, what a great idea for a book!

So here it is: our kooky compendium of weird and wonderful factsjust like the encyclopediaonly fun. Use it to test your teachers, freak out your friends, mesmerize your mom, dazzle your dad, and baffle your brothers and sisters. (You may even feel yourself getting smarter.)

Happy reading and as always, Go with the Flow!
