Big Questions From Little People...Answered By Some Very Big People

Edited by Gemma Elwin Harris

Children have a knack of asking great questions: Why is the sea salty? Why can't I tickle myself? But how are we supposed to answer their questions when most of us have only a sketchy grasp of the detail?

Imagine if you could turn to a leading expert and ask them to answer in simple terms. This book does just that, gathering over 100 real questions from children, answered by some of our best-loved and most knowledgeable experts including Sir David Attenborough, Dame Kelly Holmes and Bear Grylls.

For each book sold a minimum of 67 per cent of net royalty income will be donated to the NSPCC, helping to fund our projects and services across the UK and Channel Islands, including ChildLine.

The book is available in hardback from all good bookshops and selected supermarkets. You can also buy online from stores such as Amazon, including eBook and audio book versions.
