Isn't it amazing how quickly children learn when they're young? Their brains are like sponges, soaking up all the information they come across. They are intrigued about Jesus and God, but by the time they reach adolescence, the majority may have stopped asking questions about the Lord Jesus and may have begun to doubt their faith entirely. You are busy with your job and household matters. You don't have ample time to research and question your kids' knowledge of what they know about God, belief, and his plan for them. Sometimes, all you do is wish you had the time.

It’s for this reason that I decided to write this book.What better way to break that silence than to throw out some of these facts: Wolves have a serious appetite! They can eat up to twenty pounds of meat in one sitting! The first high heeled shoes were worn by Egyptian butchers to help them walk above the bloodied bodies of animal carcasses.

Story
We live in a world of seeds. From our morning toast to the cotton in our clothes, they are quite literally the stuff and staff of life, supporting diets, economies, and civilizations around the globe. Just as the search for nutmeg and the humble peppercorn drove the Age of Discovery, so did coffee beans help fuel the Enlightenment and cottonseed help spark the Industrial Revolution. And from the fall of Rome to the Arab Spring, the fate of nations continues to hinge on the seeds of a Middle Eastern grass known as wheat.

Story
We live at the bottom of an ocean of air - 5,200 million million tons, to be exact. It sounds like a lot, but Earth’s atmosphere is smeared onto its surface in an alarmingly thin layer - 99 percent contained within 18 miles. Yet, within this fragile margin lies a magnificent realm - at once gorgeous, terrifying, capricious, and elusive. With his keen eye for identifying and uniting seemingly unrelated events, Chris Dewdney reveals to us the invisible rivers in the sky that affect how our weather works and the structure of clouds and storms and seasons, the rollercoaster of climate.

Story
In The Equations of Life, biologist Charles S. Cockell makes the forceful argument that the laws of physics narrowly constrain how life can evolve, making evolution's outcomes predictable. If we were to find something very much like a lady bug eating something very much like an aphid on a distant planet, we shouldn't be surprised. The forms of life are guided by a limited set of rules, and, as a result, there is a narrow set of solutions to the challenges of existence.

There are redwoods in California that were ancient by the time Columbus first landed and pines still alive that germinated around the time humans invented writing. There are Douglas firs as tall as skyscrapers and a banyan tree in Calcutta as big as a football field. From the tallest to the smallest, trees inspire wonder in all of us, and in The Tree, Colin Tudge travels around the world - throughout the United States, the Costa Rican rain forest, Panama and Brazil, India, New Zealand, China, and most of Europe - bringing to life stories and facts about the trees around us.

Story
Some 73,000 years ago, the Mount Toba supervolcano in toda's Indonesia erupted, releasing the energy of a million tons of explosives. So much ash and debris was injected into the stratosphere that it partially blocked the sun's radiation and caused global temperatures to drop for a decade. In this book, Donald R. Prothero presents the controversial argument that the Toba catastrophe nearly wiped out the human race, leaving only about a thousand to ten thousand breeding pairs of humans worldwide.

Who can forget the sense of wonder with which they discovered the creatures of the deep? In this vibrant hymn to the sea, Callum Roberts - one of the world’s foremost conservation biologists - leads listeners on a fascinating tour of mankind’s relationship to the sea, from the earliest traces of water on Earth to the oceans as we know them today. In the process, Roberts looks at how the taming of the oceans has shaped human civilization and affected marine life. Like Four Fish and The Omnivore’s Dilemma, The Ocean of Life takes a long view to tell a story in which each one of us has a role to play.

Great for the KIds
This book is a great way to help your kids have fun while learning, kids often see learning as "boring" but the narrator and author have done a great job to deliver these facts in an entertaining fashion. I recommend this to anybody really because even I learned many new cool facts.

Great listen
This trivia audiobook is impressive, filled with fantastic things I cannot think of myself. The author did not just ask the trivia alone; she explained the answers and sometimes used scientific proof to back up her answers. Humm, it is incredible that pigs are not found in Antarctica. In this audiobook, you will discover the most poisonous fish globally, the giant bird on earth, the tallest land creature. Denmark has a more pig population than humans, and as big as China, it has only a one-time zone. These are a few I picked up from the top of my head for just listening because there are so many more in science and geography. You will never regret buying this audiobook, for it's worth having. By the way, the clarity of the narrator is something else. She is the perfect voice for this kids' book, and I know the target audience, and their parents will enjoy listening to her without getting tired. I should also mention the background music made the whole narration so enjoyable. The music is lively, changing in each chapter of the audiobook, so you don't have to listen to one type of music for over three hours. The author did her due diligence in selecting the topic, narrator, and music. I would recommend this audiobook to parents that want their kids to learn something new. Good audiobook.

A fun, well-produced audiobook for kids!
I can't say enough about the production value of this book-- you can tell so much time was taken! The trivia questions even made me take a pause to figure out what they were. Still, I could definitely see the kids in my life enjoying the questions and having a chance in knowing the correct answer. Great book!

Nice, fun trivia
My brother and I loved playing this fun trivia. Obviously I beat him in most of the questions. But in a serious note, the questions are wide ranging and the more general knowledge you have the better. It’s mainly multiple choice about things like science, math, geography and much more, which makes it even more fun. Highly recommend for a fun night with with games or for a long drive.
