Description
A funny and interactive book that explains the surprising science behind everyday kid questions.
Why is your elbow called your funny bone? How could you escape the grip of a crocodile's jaw? Which animal can breathe through its butt? Can an egg bounce? How can a giraffe's ridiculously long neck contain the same number of bones as a human's? How much does the internet weigh?
This book uncovers the amazing scientific explanations behind all sorts of questions that can pop into our heads, exploring facts ranging from how dogs' urine can glow under UV light to why the center of the universe might taste like raspberries.
With a delightful graphic format, featuring black and white illustrations throughout, the text's interactive style invites readers to engage in science facts and thinking as they guess answers to questions and make links between different scientific concepts.
