"For a small population, this country has turned out a great many inventors and original thinkers. Part of the reason for that is to do with our being far away from the main part of the world and having to be more self-reliant. Plus the fact that we Kiwis like to 'give it a go' "
Every home in this wonderful country of ours needs to have a copy of this book. I'm organising a quiz night and will be using this book for a lot of questions.
I felt very proud to know we are the first for so many world records. Everything from fastest blindfolded texting to free diving!
This book is very easy to read and suits a wide age range. My 10 year old nephew found it fascinating and will be giving copies of this book as presents this year.
The price is right too :) I would have paid up to $20.
So sit back and be proud of what you read about our fellow kiwis!
