Description

Get ready for a record-breaking road trip across the USA! From the world's biggest bubblegum bubble in Alabama to the planet's tallest volcanic columns in Wyoming, journey from state to state to uncover an incredible mix of quirky records and outstanding achievements.

From the weird to the wonderful (and back again!), these remarkable records span every corner of the country and every kind of curiosity--from natural wonders and historical firsts to sporting triumphs, awe-inspiring individuals, and astonishing animals.

Inside you'll discover mind-boggling facts, including:
  • How many surfers can squeeze onto one surfboard
  • Where you can find the world's sunniest place
  • Who owns the tallest hat ever made
  • Where to meet social media's most famous cat
  • Which state is home to both the world's largest pair of scissors AND the biggest dinosaur poop ever found
  • Where the longest pizza ever cooked was made


Readers will also explore records that span multiple states, those from US territories and even a few that reach into space! And for aspiring record-setters, there are tips on how to become a record-breaker yourself . . . if you're up to the challenge.

Written by award-winning author Clive Gifford and packed with bright, funny illustrations by Paul Hammond, this book is bursting with fun, facts, and US pride. So, as we mark 250 years of US independence, let's hear it for the States!
