45 Unique Gifts They Won’t Be Getting From Someone Else

Promising review: “This book is SO much fun! It provides the answers to so many questions that are fun, interesting, and occasionally historical! The outline of the book is fairly simple. The question (sometimes silly, sometimes intriguing) is posed as a heading, and then there is a quick but detailed answer. These answers are a few paragraphs to a little over a page. The answers are concise but completely filled with great information. The title of the book suggests that all the questions might be crude or overly silly, but that’s not it at all! Although some of the questions are silly (for example besides the title, ‘why don’t birds fall off branches when they’re asleep?’ or ‘why do dogs have wet noses?’), there are so many more kinds of questions in this book! Some of them are vaguely scientific (such as, ‘what causes Parkinson’s disease’ or ‘how does general anesthesia work’), while others are historical (such as, ‘how did Mother’s Day originate?’) Although they are so different, all these questions are really interesting, with compelling answers and well-researched responses. I really enjoy this book. I expect it’s usually used as a ‘bathroom reader’ but I read it all in one sitting! It’s so much fun, and I learned a lot!” —Elizabeth Elle
