Beakman's World

About this book

This is a quiz style book with flash card type answers. To help keep all the cards together there is a small screw-bolt on the lower left of each of the book's pages/cards. On the back of the later 'Volume II's cards they say "AnswerCard" written above the page number, which is not present in this first volume. The front of each page has the same question, a page/card number and possible answers being from A-D with four pages having only up to C options (pages 14, 17, 25, and 41). Behind the question mark are four different designs appearing on different cards they are; a star like design, bean type, hollow cross, and a series of swirls. Each page/card has the same design, unlike the first volume that had several different designs around the question mark. All pages have images on their reverse side, with the exception the front and back covers of the book which have solid white. The images alternate between the characters Beakman, Lester a man in a rat suit, Liza, or the two puppet penguins, with a speech balloon giving that character's observation about the answer to the question, or other topic, most of them silly comments. Josie also appears on the back cover of the book. This is one of a few 'Beakman's World' products that has both Jose and Liza, another is the "Beakman's World: Build with Beakman, Hovercraft", book and activity set. The "Beakman's World: Two-Sided Jigsaw Puzzle." {Orange}. Item No. 1765-2, and Beakman's World: Beakmania Game a boardgame.
