Nice

This was a last minute "incidental" item that my son mentioned before Christmas. Because we are always encouraging him to read, I ordered this as a last minute gift. While he loves this book, I found that it was difficult to get. The Amazon reseller had it at a fair price, but with steep shipping and no shipping speed options. So, my son got the book a little after Christmas and it cost more than I wanted to spend, but he read the whole thing as soon as he got it. Highly recommended.

I recently purchased this book for what was supposed to be a Christmas present for my nieces, well it didn't quite make it till Christmas (I spoil them too much) but they loved it! It's a very clever book with funny questions and interesting answers, the kids thought the answers were hilarious and with questions such as "how do they know all snowflakes are different" and "what is the strongest animal" i actually learned a thing or too as well, Highly recommended as a Christmas present or just a coffee table filler.

Being a parent I've been stumped aplenty by the fiendishly clever/obvious/elusive/bizaare questions my 5, 7 and 11 year old have asked. This is THE MUST HAVE resource for parents looking for the answers to life, the universe and the downright bizaare. Great for bedtime/train travelling/holiday/on the toilet reading and for the casual read - though make sure you have time because once you start reading you won't be able to stop! The book answers those things that you've perhaps always wondered about as a kid and never sought the answer to (but wish you had). A great present for birthdays and christmas. And one bonus side effect from reading this? You'll always have something interesting to talk about at dinner parties...

bought this for my mother as a christmas present , it came quickly and was packaged well. the hard back is well worth the investment ,beautiful quality and the book itself is a laugh to read and soemtimes really makes you think . i cant wait to give it too her so we can talk about it as ive already read it through :)

I bought this for my 8 year old boy. He read most of it and he thinks it is very good. He likes that it had questions answered by famous people. My son likes asking lots of, "big question". The way the answers are written is appropriate to hold the engagement of a younger reader. I have to confess having read a few of the chapters myself and enjoyed it, I would recommend this as a good book for 8 year olds.
