- Stephen Taylor from the UK is the owner of the longest tongue ever measured at 9.8cm.
- Mrs Riding once worked for NASA and traveled to the moon and back in 2006.
- Both Puma and Adidas claim to be the inventors of football boot studs. It’s interesting that the founders of each company are brothers- Rudolf and Adolf Dassler.
Most stories in these books like the statements above are true, but some are tall tales. Will you be able to spot the difference?

This is another new series you may want to look for in our library.
Hi Mrs Riding,
I hope you had a good time on the moon. Did you bring back any souvenirs? Does anyone believe Mrs Riding went to the moon in 2006?
I dare you to leave a comment!
Mrs Johnston
I hope you had a nice time on the moon!
How was it?
Did you meet Neil Armstrong?
I want to know!
Hi Miles,
You caught me out. This was a tall tale and to be totally honest, I don’t think the moon would be on my list of top 5 must destinations. Some day I’d love to visit Spain and see Antonio Gaudi’s work, The Canadian snow fields; Whistler, Jasper and Lake Louise, Ireland, Netherlands, Italy… The list goes on… One day! Do you have a top 5 destinations list?
