What started as a progressive collection of web-based articles that answer questions about the world around us is now compiled in Life's Little Mysteries Book, an illustrated gift book suitable for all ages. We answer 115 questions on topics such as, "Why is the sky blue?" "Why don't woodpeckers get headaches?" and "Why are marathons 26.2 miles long?" Have you ever wondered when the red carpet tradition began or why popcorn pops? We answer those strange conundrums right here. Each article is a quick read on a lazy summer's day or a cold winter's night that's sure to satisfy curious minds. And the book is perfect to share aloud with family and friends at parties or students in a classroom.
