My family and I are pretty big fans of Ripley’s Believe It Or Not. We’ve been to a few of the museums around the country and each year we look forward to the release of the new Ripley’s book. This years book, Eye-Popping Oddities, certainly did not disappoint. The moment it arrived at our doorstep both of my kids were mesmerized by all the stories and pictures and didn’t put it down for at least an hour.
