Are you looking for a hilarious book to read? Are you not looking for anything that tells you precisely how to parent your children? Are you sick of parenting books that talk down to you?
Then you’re in luck. Today’s giveaway is a really funny book about questions kids ask. And lest you think this is just a cutesy “aw, kids say the darndest things” kind of book, the author actually gives the answers too!
So if you or your child have ever wondered “Why do ships have round windows?” “How much of your body can you lose and still live?” “Is a rainbow hot or cold?” “Why does the chef wear a big white hat?” or “Does the Mona Lisa wear shoes?” then Wendell Jamieson has written the book for you. Interspersed between stories of his own childhood and children are succinct interviews with experts. Note, the people in the clip below are the reason I suspect he decided against writing a book about what the Man on the Street thinks.
And check out the book’s website for more clips, a chance to get your kid’s question in the paperback version, and more.

Thanks for the contest!
why are some websites making it difficult to enter comments while websites like this one make it a pleasure to add your comment and browse around.
please pick me
Bwah-ha-ha! This I gotta have! When Shecky asks questions like those I usually come up with an inapropriately cornball answer like, “Shoes? Why do you think she’s smiling like that?” or “Rainbows are hot on one side and cool on the other… its what makes the different colors… different.”
My son would enjoy this for his sons questions!
OHHH - Pick Me Please !!
Oh, I want this book! When I was in college I took an oceanography class and on the first day the professor said that the only thing we’d remember from the class would be when our kids asked us “Why is the ocean blue?” and we’d be able to say ‘light refraction’. Any other question my 7 year old asks … I’d like a reference book! THANKS!
