Ready to get you "awesome" on? Be sure to grab your own copy of time for Kids, That's Awesome! The World's Most Amazing Facts and Records, the moment it makes its debut on October 5, 2010.

This latest installment from the editors of Time for Kids is their most ambitious...and their most awesome, to say the least.

That's Awesome is chocked full of the most awesome facts ever, offering readers tidbits of the world's most awesome information in a totally awesome format. Example: Awesome sizes, like the tiniest snakes, the tallest buildings, and the largest Ferris Wheels (The Singapore Flyer, which takes an awesome 30 minutes just to go around once!); Awesome technology, such as spinach-powered batteries, a personal mobility device that looks like you're sitting on a Figure 8, and and awesome steam-powered car that looks like an airplane.

But the book doesn't stop there. There are awesome price tags (like the $30,000 dog house); awesome jobs (like the Elephant Toenail Clipper), and awesome eats (like yummy Bird's Nest Soup made of bird saliva).

Now, how awesome is that???

This book has it all; a surprisingly light-weight feel that makes it easy to carry; an awesome shiny-red hardcover; awesome eye-popping color photographs; awesome subject matter; and best of all, a totally awesome attention to details.

The total package is, for lack of a better word, awesome.

This gift-giving season, turn your thoughts to awesome things. Give Time for Kids, That's Awesome. This book could be the most awesome gift you've ever given to any awesome person in your life.
