"Who knew that there are two billion people sleeping right now? We didn’t until we read PICK ME UP. This book is amazing and so much fun. Even for big kids like us." — Courteney Cox-Arquette and David Arquette

	“Once you pick it up, you may never put it down. It's like the entire Internet in a book, without the pop-ups and weird pictures of Cindy Margolis. Getting smart has never been so easy!”   —Paul Scheer, VH1's Best Week Ever
	“The perfect book to fool people into thinking you know stuff.”   — Christian Finnegan, Comedian
	“Now I know all the flags, how old the oldest person was and how many people are doing things at once.  This book was so good that I would recommend it to my friends.”   — Regina W., age 10, Brookhaven, NY
	“From the center of the Earth to the ends of the universe, Pick Me Up shows, tells, constructs, and dissects the world around us to illustrate in the most ingenious ways that the pursuit of knowledge is anything but trivial. I learned the easy way that once you Pick Me Up, you won't want to put it down.”   — Scott Beatty, Comic book writer and book author
	“I'm hooked. This is the best book ever. I know it's supposedly for the tween set, but adults will dig it. You will dig it. Your kids and nieces and nephews and cousins and children will dig it. Dig?”   — Kambri Crews, publicist/producer, New York, NY
	“Pick Me Up is in a class by itself.  It's like a Super Wal-Mart of facts, and I love that each page is a different fact-learning adventure.  Keeps those with shorter attention spans glued to the pages."   — Sue K., Parent, Portland, ME
	“It is a great book with a wealth of information. The layout is exciting and fun and the content is presented in an interesting way.  I enjoyed looking through it.”   — U.S. Rep. Vito J. Fossella (R-NY)
	“The book is easy to navigate and the graphics perfect for middle and high school students.  One thing I hear from my students is how arduous their research tasks are at times when they must read through pages upon pages of boring information.  This book gets right to the point and entertains as well.”   — Suzie F., Gifted & Talented Teacher, Woodbridge Township, NJ
	“In short, I loved it.  It's an almanac for the 21st century.  The book's design is endlessly creative, and every page serves as an entry point.  Within minutes of picking it up, I had learned how to spot a fake smile, what a gongoozler is, and why the Roman Empire is like McDonalds.”   — Dan Wallace, co-author of Marvel Encyclopedia
	“It is colorful, chock full of information with a great variety of graphics!”   — Jan K. and Janet K., Youth Services Librarians
	“I liked all the random facts in this book and I also enjoyed the illustrations. I think this would be a good book for kids my age to learn from.  I loved your book; I felt like I jumped into a colorful world of information!!”   — Emily Z., Age 14, (via e-mail)
	“I'm a teacher and I would definitely choose this to be part of my classroom library.  It would be a great reference book for the kids ...  I found it hard to put down.  I kept wanting to see what was next!”   — Kathy, Teacher (via email)
	“I enjoyed the book as a librarian and I know teachers will …The book is full of great snippets of information—which is great for kids who don't like to read long, wordy books.  Middle school kids who love to read the Guinness World record books should love this, even though it's so much more educational—because of the format and the attractiveness they might not realize they're actually learning something useful!”   — Pat R., Librarian, Woodbridge Township, NJ
	“When a friend told me about Pick Me Up I couldn't wait to pick it up. The book really appeals to me because I love learning about new, random things in an interesting way. Each page has new information that is completely fascinating. The coolest part about Pick Me Up is that every page is related to another, often in an unexpected way. So far, the coolest fact I have learned is that bulls are colorblind, and will charge at a matador no matter what color cape they have. Pick Me Up is the sort of book that you never get tired of, which makes it great to read hanging out, while traveling, in bed, or even in space!”   — Brian G., Age 15, North Carolina
	“It's like reading but better”   — Amanda Hayes, College Student
	“My kids love this book and they aren't even old enough to read yet! We flip through the pages and pick things to explore. Or, they just flip through it on their own. I have to wait until they are done to get into the stuff I'm interested in. Once they learn to read, I'll never get it away from them! I learned how to draw a face last night! The kids were impressed.”   — Julee S., Mother, Los Angeles, CA
