I loved this book! I like reading interesting facts, and I read them quite often, but in "Random illustrated facts" there were just a few I already knew. All of the facts were quite interesting, and hilarious! The illustrations were so funny and cute, and complemented the facts perfectly. Some of my favorites were: the very first one - the pekingese as a last line of defense, the Saddam Hussein novel, all facts about animals, the Alaskan ice-cream and the the facts about mushrooms and jellyfish (weird!). Mike Lowery has a great sense of humor, and I'll definitely follow him anywhere on the internet, since these doodles are amazing!

Random Illustrated Facts are just that: a book about random tidbits with cute illustrations.
I love books like this. As a trivia hound I love knowing random facts that can impress people. This gives me a whole slew of new ones to use. I love the art; it's fun and doesn't make the book seem overly educational.
I'd definitely buy this book as a gift for my erudite but fun friends.

This book is divided into sections including history, animals, food and drinks, science and everyday things. It was incredibly humorous and informative. The illustrations were great and my students wanted me to start reading it again as soon as we finished the first time!

This book was a super quick & extremely entertaining read. I have always loved gaining knowledge about random things and I completely adored this book. It was divided into sections for facts about different topics and I thought I’d read it in parts but once I started reading, I went through it all in a couple hours. It had super engaging facts & very creative & cute hand-drawn illustrations that were super funny and will have you laughing!
This book would also make a perfect gift for young teens & any person who is absolutely impossible to buy for.
Definitely recommend this to everyone who loves learning about random, weird things.
