Publisher's Summary

Have you ever wondered: Why a day has 24 hours? Why is there a hole in the doughnut? Why do we light candles on a birthday cake?

Like many people, you’ve probably asked some of these questions when you were younger or maybe recently. Well, you will be pleasantly surprised to discover the interesting and maybe slightly bizarre origins of the strange things we do.

In Why? Interesting Stories, Fun Facts, Questions & Answers about Science, History, and Pop Culture, we cover 55 of the most regularly asked questions with fascinating origin stories.

In this book, you will find out about

  • Why are there 12 months in a year?
  • Which critter inspired the computer term “bug”?
  • Why do people bring a tree into their house in December?
  • Why do we shake hands when meeting people?
  • Why do horses wear shoes, but cows don’t?
  • And more….

Having listened to this book, you will not only know a lot more about the world around you, but you will also likely be asking many more questions. Asking questions leads to a search for knowledge, and knowledge helps to make us wise. Don’t ever stop asking, “Why?”

Interesting Stories

Wow, this is an interesting audiobook about asking questions. It is a book of why? so basically whenever we have questions, they have the answer to some questions like Why does a day have 24 hours? Why is there a hole in the doughnut? Why do we light candles on a birthday cake? It is good to know the answer to these questions because, at some point in the future, I will be asked or curious to know how it works. Our future kids may ask us, and this beautiful audiobook has the answer and I love this audiobook. I love the narrator and story of the book. The author has done a fantastic job in creating this book.
