Can a Bee Sting a Bee?: And Other Big Questions from Little People

Just began reading this with my six year old. It has really sparked both of our imaginations and our curiosity. The questions and answers are just the beginning, as they really spark your sense of wonder. Just reading a couple of passages has led to us looking up videos of Koko the gorilla, and initiated long conversations about space.I can't think of anything better.

I bought this book for my 9 year old daughter and myself to read on a spring break road trip. She read while I drove and we discussed many of the questions as we drove through the Idaho desert. I was blown away by how well each person who answered a question broke it down so a child could understand it. And, I was also surprised how much I learned as we read the book, and also how much I learned about my daughter because of the conversations the questions and answers started.Of course my daughter loved reading about why our wee is yellow, she got a great kick out of that, but what really got her excited were the questions about where we come from and what we are made of, she's very pleased to know we are all stardust!I really liked that the experts who answered the agenda didn't have an agenda or an axe to grind. They were simply focused on giving the most scientifically or philosophically correct answer they could without adding their prejudice or personal opinions.I strongly recommend this book for every parent who wants to deepen their relationship with their child while stretching the bounds of the child's (and often the parent's) intellect.This is a must have book for every parent and grandparent!

I bought this for my little one, and she seems to be enjoying it!

It's like a bathroom reader, but great for kids. We read a couple answers every night. Impressive suite of contributors. Recommend.

LOVE this book. It's a compilation of well-considered, two-page answers written by experts in their fields to such questions as "Why Do We Have Money" and "Why Can't I Tickle Myself". I enjoy it as much as my 6-year-old and I think we'll keep this book around for years.

This book is full of questions asked by kids and 2 page answers given by a variety of experts (for the most part) in related fields. Some concepts are very difficult to boil down to 2 pages, or to convey to a child. So its great that someone had done this ahead of time. However, its not to say the parent has been relieved of the job of explanation. Often the answers lead to more questions or more clarification.

This is a remarkable book. Questions and answers are really good, all interesting, all awesome. It is stuff for children and adults as well. And surely a magic material to read in groups, in school or at home. Those are big questions, indeed, and extraordinary, clear and somehow poetic answers! Very, very good! Do not miss it!

The format isn't lively enough for kids, and dry for adults. The questions are ok, and the experts answering write well, but too much endless print, could use more graphics. Kind of boring, sorry.

This is the twin book of : 'Does My Goldfish Know Who I Am?'.The subject matters are written for kids, they are short (1 to 2 pages max) and instructive. I'd recommend that for curious kids around 10, but the truth is as an adult, I learned many things myself.

as an adult, i like reading kids books. i liked this one too. and i bought it also as a present for my friend's kid. i don't know if he enjoyed it, but i suppose so.

Bought this for a 12 year old boy who wasn't keen on reading!! This was perfect and has had the whole family's interest

This is an amazing book! My kids & I are having a lot of fun! The answers are very often of an unexpected kind, but all the more interesting and entertaining.Highly recommended!

the book is quite interesting, my kids find it fun to read.
