Customer Reviews

Armchair reader

My first foray in to the ArmChair reader's series. Not finished yet but entertaining and enjoyable. If you enjoy the Bathroom Reader's you will enjoy this.

Another Family Hit!

Having bought two other Armchair Readers, I didn't hesitate in grabbing this one oup as well. Organized in an easy to read format, this information book takes you through great word roots, crazy stories from around the world, and a bit of history. Witty and informative, you can tell the authors of these books love to write about the unusual and different. "History of the little Black Dress" was one of my favorites. If you child (or you) likes trivia and being able to dip into a book before bed, this is for you!
