Description

Have you ever wondered . . .

If dinosaurs sneezed?

How long would it take to run around the world?

If moths like light so much, why do they only come out at night?

Find out in this hilarious collection of more than 200 wacky and wide-ranging questions, cleverly answered by author Mike Rampton with help from world-leading experts from the University of Cambridge. Covering everything from science, math, and zoology to history, art, and sports, There Are No Silly Questions answers all the questions you’ve always wondered about—and some you’ve never even thought to ask. Rampton’s answers are brought to life with delightfully zany, full-color illustrations from award-winning illustrator Guilherme Karsten. The perfect gift for curious readers of any age, this treasure trove of knowledge proves that there are truly no silly questions, only ones still waiting to be asked. . . .

Advance Praise

"Behold! More than 200 weird and wacky questions expertly answered in a book produced through the largesse of the University of Cambridge. What kinds of question? Stuff like: Why do we burp? Why do we have two nostrils but only one mouth (did you know that we only breath out of one nostril at a time and we switch off)? Which animal has the most bones? Which animal has the most teeth? The book alternates between science, history, animals, and humans. Would there still be people if dinosaurs didn’t exist? Find out here!"
