This one is for all of them, a question answered for every day of the year。🗓☀️🌖That’s 366 questions because on 28 Feb, you’ll read about leap years and on 29 Feb — you’ll get the answer to, “If you were born on 29th February, how old are you?”🤫This book is based on an award-winning podcast by Molly Oldfield, who gathers experts to answer questions posed to her by 4-11 year olds all over the world。 Every single question is a real one and is attributed to every child by first name and age at the back。 My favourite one ❤️📚26 Apr : Who invented writing, and what did they write about? 🤭Also, what was the first library in the world? (It was built from an idea by an ancient king in 600+ BC and held 30,000 clay tablets。)Something I always wanted to know🐌12 Jan : Why are there so many snails when it rains? Another, like many which recognize that science keeps changing with new research and discovery 🧬🫀25 Feb : What is the appendix for?(It may do more than we think and did you know astronauts often have them removed so they won’t get appendicitis in space? 🤭🚀)Where will your curiousity take you next? I love how this book embraces the notion that there is no limit to what our minds can conjure。 I’d pitch this from 5+ if you’re reading with your child, but this’ll keep our lower to middle primary schoolers busy too! The art is AMAZING and is done by 12 illustrators ❤️🎨📚: @times。reads 。。。more
