About this listen
Have you ever wondered: Why a day has 24 hours? Why is there a hole in the doughnut? Why do we light candles on a birthday cake?
Like many people, you’ve probably asked some of these questions when you were younger or maybe recently. Well, you will be pleasantly surprised to discover the interesting and maybe slightly bizarre origins of the strange things we do.
In Why? Interesting Stories, Fun Facts, Questions & Answers about Science, History, and Pop Culture, we cover 55 of the most regularly asked questions with fascinating origin stories.
In this book, you will find out about
- Why are there 12 months in a year?
- Which critter inspired the computer term “bug”?
- Why do people bring a tree into their house in December?
- Why do we shake hands when meeting people?
- Why do horses wear shoes, but cows don’t?
- And more….
Having listened to this book, you will not only know a lot more about the world around you, but you will also likely be asking many more questions. Asking questions leads to a search for knowledge, and knowledge helps to make us wise. Don’t ever stop asking, “Why?”

Intriguing and Entertaining
This book was so fun to listen to. The questions really were intriguing, and the answers provided plenty of interesting information. The questions in the book really could be described as random shower thoughts! Learning from this audio has allowed me to become a genius in many things. Definitely recommending this to family and friends. As someone with a short attention span, the narrator did an excellent job of keeping me engaged. I could not stop listening!

Fun and Informative!
Such a fun and educational listen - highly enjoyed this! It dives into so many everyday things we take for granted and explains the history or science behind them in a way that’s easy to follow. The range of topics is impressive, covering everything from why we shake hands to the origin of the word “bug” in tech - never would've known any of these random facts. I loved learning these quirky trivia bits, and it definitely sparked my curiosity to ask even more questions. A great audiobook for anyone who loves random facts and interesting stories!
