Uncle John’s
UNCANNY
Bathroom Reader
The most trusted name in trivia has done it again!
What’s so uncanny about the 29th annual edition of Uncle John’s?
This enduring book series has been delivering entertaining
information to three generations of readers (so far)...and it’s still going
strong! How do they do it? Back in 1988, Uncle John successfully
predicted the way that 21st-century readers would want their
information: in quick hits, concisely and cleverly written, and with
details so delightful you’re compelled to share them with someone
else. (Kind of like the Internet, but without all those annoying ads.)
This groundbreaking series has been imitated time and again but
never equaled, and Uncanny is the Bathroom Readers’ Institute at its
very best. Choosing from a wide array of topics—incredible origins,
forgotten history, weird news, amazing science, dumb crooks, and
more—readers of all ages will enjoy these 512 pages of the best stuff
in print. Here are but a few of the uncanny topics awaiting you:
• The World’s Weirdest Protests
• The Wit and Wisdom of Bill Murray
• Forgotten Game Shows
• Darth Vader’s Borderline Personality Disorder, and Other Real

Bathroom Science
For kids who dare to make things ooze, pop, stink,
and erupt!
Create exploding toilet volcanoes, oozing sink slime, and bubbling
bathtub cauldrons...all in the name of science! Each step-by-step
experiment uses household and other easy-to-find materials so the
young scientist’s lab can be equipped quickly, inexpensively, and—
for those who might worry—safely. Bathroom Science highlights
the materials, the method, and the scientific “why” behind every
experiment. It is spiral bound to stay open while scientists-in-training
measure and mix. And, best of all, Bathroom Science makes science as
simple (and occasionally explosive) as going to the bathroom.
We’ve packed in 101 kid-challenging experiments, including...
• Turn Your Toilet into a Volcano
• Steam Up a Secret Message
• Fill the Sink with Booger Slime
• Give Bathwater an Eerie Glow
• The Cackling Chicken of Death
• Make Your Own Stink Bomb (Eew!)

Do Geese Get
Goosebumps?
A Q&A book full of things you didn’t know
you need to know.
Find the answers to hundreds of life’s most perplexing questions in
this entertaining collection from the Bathroom Readers’ Institute
(the team behind the best-selling, award-winning Uncle John’s
Bathroom Reader line). Do Geese Get Goosebumps? is 224 pages
of simple explanations for complex topics—everything from “Why
is air transparent?” to “Why do late-night commercials always offer
to throw in a second, identical product ‘at no extra cost’?” Clearly
written and thoroughly researched, this book will shed new light on
science, history, politics, sports, animals, food, pop culture, and more.
Some sample questions:
• Why don’t woodpeckers get headaches?
• Why do we drive on a parkway but park on a driveway?
• What do you call a male midwife?
• Why do most superheroes wear their underwear on the outside?
• Can you cash a giant novelty check?
• Why do old men wear their pants pulled up so high?
• Are TV courtroom shows legally binding?

See Ya Later Calculator
A book full of simple, easy-to-follow, and even entertaining
tricks for doing practical, real-world math in your head. . . in
just seconds flat!
A lot of us hate math, but that’s just because we don’t remember much of
it from high school or we think it’s too hard (which is probably why we’ve
forgotten it in the first place). Who needs it when you’ve got a calculator, right?
Wrong! We all use math every day—to calculate a tip, figure out an interest
rate, estimate the cost of the groceries in your cart, etc. Math doesn’t have to be
hard. It can be easy, fast, and even fun...if you know how to do it all in your head.
See Ya Later Calculator demystifies numbers and math. With these simple,
precise, and downright magical math tricks, readers can do everyday math
faster than it takes to dig out their phone and find the calculator app. Clear,
step-by-step, easily memorizable directions demonstrate more than 125 math
operations anyone can do in their head, such as...
• Add fractions quickly
• Add up three-digit numbers easily
• Convert decimals that repeat forever into nice, clean fractions
• Multiply two-digit numbers in your head
• Subtract large numbers fast

READER TESTIMONIALS
“Uncle John’s Bathroom Readers
are always excellent. Over the past 20 years,
I’ve read these books, given them as gifts to my
husband and sons for Christmas and birthdays.
The writing is always good, and this book (Fully
Loaded), like so many others that we’ve had
over the years, is definitely worth reading
and definitely worth owning.”
—IBPA Benjamin Franklin
Awards Judge
“Our friend Patrick Merrell has a new book
out that would make a great gift for the elementary
or middle school child in your life. Hunting for
Heroes, which also has the title iFlush because it’s
published by the infamous Uncle John’s series, is a
beautiful book jam-packed with puzzles galore.
The lucky recipient of this book will stay busy for
hours learning about heroes, big and small.”
—Deb Amlen, the New York Times
“I have learned so much
from you guys. Thank you
for being amazing!”
—Reece T.
19
“My friend in school was reading
Bathroom Readers, so then I bought a
couple, and now my mom says I’m just
threatening her with my intelligence.”
—Chase O.
“I love these books! I read them on
my commute bus in the morning,
and during my lunch hour. They are
definitely not just for the bathroom.”
—Alison G.
