What is Weird But True!
Have you ever wondered how you can tell if a gorilla is happy? Or wondered how much a sea turtle weighs? You can find out all of these answers and more by following along with the Weird But True! series from National Geographic.
Weird But True! books were first sold in 2010 and to date they have produced 40 titles. With these books you can find out about a specific subject such as dinosaurs, or you can learn about many different interesting facts about animals, space, U.S. states, and more.

National Geographic didn’t limit all of these cool facts simply to book form. In 2015 they began airing Weird But True Radio! with Sirius XM. Weird But True Radio! aired five times a week to the delight of many curious kids.
In 2018, they even won the Silver Award at the New York International Radio Awards
How It’s Weird But True! Began
National Geographic Kids began creating magazines for children to explore the world in September 1975. They continued to create content to raise the curiosity of young children and create the desire to explore and learn more.
In 2004, an idea came to the former editor’s 60 year old mom to help answer the never ending questions of children. She proposed the idea of Weird But True! facts to be included in the National Geographic Kids magazine.
At first, this was simply a special feature included in the magazine. This special feature was so well received that now books, radio shows, and now a television series has been formed.
Weird but True! first began as a special feature in the national geographic kids magazine.
