2 posts | 1 read

What is leap year? How many have we had since the calendar was reformed in 1582? If you were born on February 29, 1944, how old would you be? When would you celebrate your golden birthday? Why are leap years dangerous for single men? Find the answers to these questions and more in The Leap Year Book, a collection of leap year trivia and lore. Discover what earth-shattering events occurred on February 29, what famous personalities share this erratic birth-rate, and why the advent of the leap year sent bachelors everywhere into a tailspin. With full-colour illustrations throughout, The Leap Year Book is the perfect birthday wish for all our leap year sons and daughters.

I picked up this out of print book through my library‘s ILL to fill in a reading prompt challenge. Also, since I was born in a leap year (1960), I wanted to read more about leap year legends and folklore.

This is a fun children‘s book filled with legends, folklore and events. I thoroughly enjoyed it being my first book of the 2024 leap year.

My first book read of 2024. 1/100 books read this year.
