A treasure house of exciting and informative quiz questions. Do you know what a camelopard is? Can you name the postman in the Asterix comics? Can you say offhand which animal is measured in ‘hands’ rather than feet? Would you be able to reel off the name the first recipient of the Param Vir Chakra? Do you know how many runs Don Bradman scored in his last Test innings, how many moons Venus has, and what the opposite of gravity is? If a number of these questions have got you stumped, never fear. The Hindu Young World Quiz Book 1 is chock-full of information like this, and it has been designed specifically to give you and your friends a rollicking good times even as you learn about new things on every page.
