There's No Such Thing As A Silly Question

213 wonderfully unexpected questions, expertly answered

Why aren't all months the same length? How much water would it take to put out the sun? Why are there so many breeds of dog? If you've ever wondered about these delightfully odd questions—or found yourself curious about things you thought might be too silly to ask—this brilliant book proves that every question deserves an answer.

Author and journalist Mike Rampton tackles 213 of the most wonderfully unexpected questions children (and adults!) think up, covering everything from science and history to nature and social customs. Each answer is fact-checked by world-leading experts from the University of Cambridge, ensuring that curiosity is rewarded with genuine knowledge presented in the most accessible and entertaining way possible.

Guilherme Karsten's engaging illustrations bring each question to life, making this the perfect book for dipping in and discovering fascinating facts at random, or reading cover to cover for a complete journey through the wonderfully weird world around us. From why we have exactly the number of bones we do (spoiler: it's not the same for everyone) to the mysteries of calendars, music, and everything in between.

Perfect for curious minds who love to question everything, this book celebrates the joy of wondering and proves that the best questions often lead to the most surprising discoveries.

Ideal for ages 8-11, with appeal for inquisitive readers of all ages.
