Chock Full of Interesting Explanations!
This book is appropriate reading for both children and adults who are curious about the world and why things are the way they are. Do you wonder about how we got our measures of time – hours, months, etc.? How about how holiday traditions came about – groundhog day and Valentine’s Day? Perhaps you want to know why we say “Hello” when answering the telephone, or why yawning is contagious. Or why a keyboard has those mixed-up letters? Here are 55 answers to questions you’ve always wondered about, and also some you’ve never even thought of!The book is written in an entertaining style and delves into some of nature’s and our culture’s deepest quirks. I highly recommend it!

A fun interesting read…even for adults!
I bought this book for my eleven year old daughter who is always asking me questions like this book ask and answers. I looked the book over and ended up reading the whole thing in one setting. It is a fun read and is well researched. I really like the fun facts at the end of each answered questions. I learned a lot from this book. I never knew for example so many birds die a year from flying into windows and why birds keep pooping on my car window…a red car witch according to the author birds love to target. My daughter loved this book as well. Highly recommended for kids and adults.

So interesting for kids and adults alike!
This is a really great book. What makes it so great? Well, the illustrations, for one. The illustrations are very professional and unique. I also like that this is a full-size book. The subject matter is what really makes this book stand out. This book has so many facts that are interesting to adults as well. I enjoyed reading the section about the questions everyone would like answered but are too afraid to ask. I also think it's great that there is a section on technology. It's easy for kids to remember that there was a time that we didn't have the technologies they have grown so accustomed to.

Disappointing
I like this kind of reading but I was disappointed with a few things. Firstly, for many segments I didn’t get the feeling that the author actually answered the question. But what bugs me about this book is all the spelling and grammar errors. Get an editor before publishing!

Fun Facts
I originally checked this book out to see if it was something my nephews and nieces would enjoy for Christmas. I was surprised at how interesting I found it to be. There were so many things I didn't know or hadn't even thought about and took for granted. I like that you can read a little at a time and jump back in whenever you're in the mood for more. If your child is inquisitive and likes to read, they will enjoy this book.
