Now here’s a fun book of facts.

Every parent is peppered with unusual questions from their little ones. This book answers some of those questions with a humorous twist. Check out the excerpt.

Where does pepper come from? Why do sheep have curly wool? Why is the sea salty? Why are flamingos pink? And some more questions.

I liked this book for the cute humor, the quirky illustrations and the choice of questions.

Excerpt

Why do snails carry houses on their backs?

Because they love to go camping!

NO!

The shell of a snail protects it from predators and from the hot sun.
