About this listen
Have you ever wondered… Why we say “Bless You” when someone sneezes? Why do we clap to show appreciation? Why four leaf clovers considered lucky?
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 Wonder Why? Fascinating Stories, Curious Facts, and Answers About the Mysteries of Science, History, Pop Culture, and Traditions Around the World cover 55 of the most regularly asked questions with fascinating origin stories.
In this book, you will find out about
Why do we say “Cheese” as a picture is being taken?
Why do cats rub against people’s legs?
Why do we wish upon a star?
Why do Judges in the UK wear white wigs?
Why do most people snore when sleeping?
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?”

Fun Answers to Random Questions
I picked this up because I’ve always been curious about the little things we do every day without thinking. It was like getting a behind-the-scenes look at life! I finally learned why we say “cheese” in photos and why cats act so weird (I have two, so this was a must-read). The stories were short but super interesting, making it easy to read whenever I had a few minutes. Great for anyone who loves random trivia!

Interesting fun facts around the world
Imagine you go back to your younger self, seeing everything in this new world and feeling curious, asking why this and why that even for any trivial things. This the feeling of listening to this audiobook. Things that I took it for granted, actually there are stories behind. The audiobook discusses the why from around the world. It is a fun and light-hearted listen, and it is good for both kids and adults. I like it covers different topics, such as human body, nature, western traditions, and so on. And it is good for me to learn something new in an interesting way.

many fascinating stories
There are many stories in this book that I have never heard about, which is why I find it so fascinating. Along with some interesting information that I was previously unaware of, I also discovered new stuff. The stories are fantastic generally, however I do find some of them less engaging. Each story is brief, so it's never dull.

Really Fun Listen
My kids and I really enjoy books like this. This book kept our attention with the interesting facts, cool stories and different types of trivia type questions. The topics were fun and it was great to have fun conversations as a family. We loved the pop culture and historical facts a lot. Great to listen on road trips or just driving around town. Kept everyone off their phones for a bit! Yay!

A fantastic choice for anyone looking to expand their knowledge in a fun, casual way.
