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?”

What sets this audible apart, in my opinion, is its engaging exploration of 55 commonly asked questions, each accompanied by a fascinating origin story. From the reason behind the 12-month calendar to the inspiration behind the computer term "bug," the audiobook sheds light on a wide range of topics with clarity and wit.
I particularly enjoyed learning about holiday traditions, such as why we bring a tree into our house in December and the history behind Valentine's Day. The audiobook also delves into the origins of everyday customs, like shaking hands when meeting people and saying "Hello" when answering the telephone.
The writing style is entertaining and accessible, making complex concepts easy to understand for listeners of all ages. Whether you're a curious child or an inquisitive adult, there's something in this audiobook for everyone.
Overall, "Why? Interesting Stories, Fun Facts, Questions & Answers about Science, History, and Pop Culture" is a must-listen for anyone with a thirst for knowledge and a love of trivia. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to satisfy their curiosity and learn something new about the world around them.

This book stands out for its unique way of fusing pop culture, science, and history into an enormously entertaining and educational novel. It serves as evidence that learning is a continuous process that piques interest and motivates more inquiries. Not only has the information about the history of commonplace customs and items broadened my understanding, but it has also provided me with a ton of interesting anecdotes to share with others. The book was entertaining and delightful and I highly reco!!
So entertaining and fun!
