I was sent this book as an ARC in exchange for an honest review. I really enjoyed this book. I felt that it had a great premise. Looking at science as a series of questions in search of answers. It took me back to watching Bill Nye the Science Guy as a kid. There was humor in the writing and in the illustrations. The one thing I would have liked was a little more organization in the book. It would be nice if their were sections based on the different sciences. This would make it more useful for student research in a classroom setting.
I loved this book! Each of the facts are bite-sized and interesting, so you can pick it up and put it down without getting too committed. The illustrations are great as well. Would definitely recommend to any older elementary school-aged child.
A great introduction to lots of topics. The concise answers and colorful illustrations make this book perfect for any curious kiddo who loves to ask questions.
Thank you Nosy Crow for an eARC of this story through NetGalley!
Thanks to NetGalley and Nosy Crow for the ARC of this one! I loved this one and the illustrations were amazing! I will be getting this one for my oldest who loves learning about all sorts of things.
This book was so much fun! The writing is so funny, and the illustrations were PERFECT! Some of my favorite questions (and answers!) were “Why are fingers so perfectly size for nose-picking?”, “Why do babies cry so much?”, or “If they’d lived at the same time, would dinosaurs have eaten people, or would people have eaten dinosaurs?”
There were SO many questions in this book. More than I even anticipated (or could have thought about myself!). But the questions were short and quick to the point, providing straight-forward answers kids can understand.
This book is a must-have for any kid’s or school’s library.
Publisher recommends it for ages 8 to 12, but my 5 year old got a lot of the content and jokes so I would say 6 to 12.
There Are No Silly Questions: More than 200 Weird and Wacky Questions, Expertly Answered! will be published October 14, 2025.
Thank you to NetGalley, Mike Rampton (author), Guilherme Karsten (illustrator), and Nosy Crow Inc. for this free, advance copy in exchange for an honest review.
