Generously sprinkled with extra facts from the Elves this is essential reading for the incurably curious.

How much water would you need to put out the Sun
If spiders can walk on the ceiling why can't they get out of the bath
What's the point of snot
Why does my pizza taste so much better the next morning
Why do dads make such bad jokes
Why am I a capital letter and you're not
Why is there an Essex, a Wessex, a Sussex but no Nossex
Can I dig a tunnel to the other side of the Earth
Why aren't unicorns called unihorns
Do cats get goosebumps
When does a rock become an island
Why don't clouds freeze
Can I live forever
