As a famous person once said, 'Most modern calendars mar the sweet simplicity of our lives by reminding us that each day that passes is the anniversary of some perfectly uninteresting event.' This book is here to spice up the sweet simplicity of our lives with perfectly interesting events for every day of the year. You can turn to any given page and find out something new. For example, on March 30 in 1867, Alaska was sold to the United States for a mere 7.2 million dollars. Or, a giant squid dragged a ship to the ocean's depths on May 10, 1874. And on October 5, 1964, Janice Salt married Francis Pepper. Is it trivia? For sure! Useless trivia? No, not when we combine the event with other thematically related sections such as Word of the Day, Imagine, Quote of the Day, and Activity of the Day.
