        Two hundred fifty "bonkerballs" facts presented by two perpetually gobsmacked mavens of marvels. Pivoting from their podcast, the two authors dish up an array of fantastic-but-true tidbits arranged in 15 broad categories, from facts to gross readers out to accidental discoveries and inventions, unusual buildings, weather extremes, trivia about numbers, and (in deference to a feathered sidekick who pops up frequently in the artwork) astounding exploits by pigeons. Rather than being shoveled in, the pithy entries are spaced out to just one or two per page to make them easier to savor individually and, along with appearances of Thomas and Raz mini-mes offering quips or reaction shots, are accompanied by photos overlaid with cartoon googly eyes and like enhancements. Scattershot and source-free as the contents may be, they're certain to broaden any young audience's range of interests--whether identifying the largest known star, pointing out that Maine is the closest U.S. state to Africa and humans are the only animals with chins, noting that fish burp, or revealing the key ingredient in the "monkeys 'n' cream" ice cream sold in Tokyo. Like their real-life counterparts, the cartoon versions of Thomas and Raz present White. A boffo browser's buffet tailor-made for delighted sharing. (photo credits) (Nonfiction. 7-10)
