Big Questions From Little People - The New York Public Library Shop

Many of the questions children ask in the course of growing up can stump even the best educated adult: Why can’t I tickle myself? Are we all related? Who named all the cities? Do aliens exist? Is it okay to eat a worm? If the universe started from nothing, how did it become something? How do you fall in love? Why are some people mean?

This charming and informative collection reveals how the world works, compiled from schoolchildren’s actual questions and explained by the world’s greatest experts, including primatologist Jane Goodall, evolutionary biologist and bestselling author Richard Dawkins, bestselling authors Matt Ridley, Mary Roach, and Phillip Pullman, chef Gordon Ramsay, adventurist Bear Gryllis, and naturalist and documentary filmmaker Sir David Attenborough. These, and many others, provide pithy, easy-to-understand answers to more than 100 common, charming, and sometimes humorous questions posed by children ages 7 to 11.
