Big encyclopedias filled with facts are boring – I'm not. I'm more like a computer game than a book, crammed with funky pages and cartoons – I'm information for the iPod generation. Forget A-Z, just follow my lead and you'll be amazed where you end up! You've never seen an encyclopedia like me before

  • WAS BEETHOVEN A PUNK?
  • How are smelly feet connected
    to nuclear weapons?
  • Why is 10 to the power of 100 called a googol?

I've got it all covered – I'm a totally random encyclopedia! You can read me in bed, read me on the bus, or even in the loo – I'm the perfect loo book for all the family. Just pick me up – go on. I'm exciting, I'm addictive – I'm unputdownable! Curious? Every family should own me so be one of the first and buy me today

REVIEWS:

"Who knew that there are 2 billion people sleeping right now? We didn't until we read PICK ME UP PUT ME DOWN. This book is amazing and so much fun. Even for big kids like us!"
Courteney Cox and David Arquette


First of all I would comment on the brilliant front cover. The 3D effect is really eye-catching! It is very colourful too.

The way that on the first page there is a diagram showing how everything is connected is a good idea. It helps you to understand. The first chapter on nature and animals is really interesting. The page on dinosaurs with the “Scariest Dinosaur that Ever Lived” is very clever.

Next the section about your body and your brain is very interesting. It covers things you might come across in R.E. (philosophy) and science (biology). Then there is a section on technology and history. This part (especially using cartoons) is cool.

The few pages on art and colour are good. I like the two pages with four coloured dots on that show that when they are mixed they can create such a rainbow.

A few pages after that there is a cartoon town which is a good idea because children of all ages like pictures. I like the pages on how cameras and magazines can lie and how they change one photo into something that they think would please the person looking at them more. It's very interesting. The “Odd One Out's” that are dotted around throughout the book are brill.

The index at the back of the book is really useful for finding the precise pages that you want to look at. I love dolphins and when I looked for them in the index I found plenty of useful information on the subject.

All in all, I think that this encyclopaedia is really good and that it will come in really useful during my time at this school.

REVIEW OF THE WEEK

I think your book is very good because it has cartoons added and words and you only get them in nursery and years five downwards. Normal books have just the words, which is soo boring. Also, me and my friends loved it as I don't  really read books, it made me read it more. It helps you to remember things because of the colour and the pictures. I thought it was very fascinating.  I first found out about PICK ME UP PUT ME DOWN because my friend was in library doing her homework and I saw this massive book and it looked really good. I have passed the PICK ME UP PUT ME DOWN to five people already and they have said it was brilliant!!!  I would give it 9.5/10!!!  It was a great book to read and I hope more books come out in our generation. It is very eye catching and the cover is soo good!! There are sooo many pages I like, but here are a few I like. Page 30&31 on Fearless female fighters and page 192 &193 on how to make this outfit height of fashion. It is like a magazine rolled into one!!! I soo love!! I want to be a fashion designer, so it really helps to guide me the right way as I am almost near my option year. I really loved it and I hope others will do too!! I really didn't know that they take away some of your spots and things that made you look not that good to absolutely flawless on your face or body on the computer!! That is really amazing!!
