    We start from the moment we learn to string words together and most of us go on asking them for the rest of our lives. Alas, we don't always find the answers. This book presents a random array of questions most commonly asked by children and parents alike.When a question springs to mind, ferreting out the answer can be a difficult business. Often the answer lies buried in a mass of information we don't need. This book goes straight to the heart of the matter and answers simple (and not so simple) questions in a down-to-earth manner. What is a loofa?When does an atom split? Where do teeth come from? Why do rabbits have large ears?The question is divided into six categories. There is no attempt to be definitive, for millions of questions could be posed. With the help of a team of teachers and students, we've picked out the ones most commonly asked--and some that simply appeal to us.If you know what makes a pencil seem to "bend" when you put it a tumbler of water, if you can instantly explain the nature of a vacuum then go to the top of the question class. If you can't then welcome aboard. Our family book of questions will be your perfect guide and companion.And when you've exhausted our questions, try dreaming up some of your own--and find out the answers for yourself!
