Presenting answers to all sorts of incredibly silly questions, this volume is designed for every curious child. For example, did you ever wonder why: the toast always lands butter side down?; the world never stops spinning?; however many socks you have, there is always one left over?; plastic carrier bags give out at exactly the wrong moment?; the other queue moves faster than the one that you chose?; the paving slab squirts you?; and cats land on their feet? The volume is illustrated with cartoons throughout.
