Totally Random Questions: Volumes 3 and 4. By Melina Gerosa Bellows. Bright Matter Books, Penguin Random House. 2022. $11.99 all ages

 



"#19

True or false:
Only female mosquitoes bite. 

ANSWER; True

#14

In MLB, how many times is a baseball used for 
pitches before it is taken out of the game? 

a. 1 time
b. 7 times
c. 18 times

ANSWER b: 7 times

I think that the covers themselves are all kids need to see to have them pick up these books and spend ages reading and finding answers to the strange and bizarre questions asked and answered in the two newest additions to a very popular series. 

I have only provided the answers. The rest of the information is provided at the turn of the page.  For the mosquito true or false, the answer is explained and there is also an Instant Genius point made and a Now You Know sidebar to add further data. It is the same for the question about baseballs.  

If kids have a question, these books may provide an answer. Or spark another question ... there is so much here to learn. You will know exactly those kids who are always wanting to know more, and learn more about their world. They LOVE books like this! 

How long does it take a spider to spin a web? 

What is the difference between jam and jelly? 

Is it true that you can fry an egg on a sidewalk? 

What was the earliest form of chewing gum made from? 

Who would win in a smelling contest? 

You know you want to know the answers. Kids will, too! 

Sure to be in some child's hands whenever they are available, these are books that will be favorites for many! Just wait until they start telling their friends and parents about their 'instant genius' status because they are readers!
