Children’s Book Review: Ask Me Anything
September 28, 2009 by Karlynn Johnston

Every fact you ever wanted to know.
And that subtitle is pretty much true.
Want to know how many galaxies there are in the universe?
How do mountains grow?
Why is blood red?
How about that burning question that you’ve always wanted to ask, but have been afraid to find out; why do crabs walk sideways?
This book covers random trivia from flora to fauna, space to earth, present to past. Each fact/topic is done in a two page spread with detailed pictures, facts and tidbits presented to the reader in various visually appealing ways. Complete with a full index of topics at the back, this is sure to be a winner with people who just love random trivia, just for the love of reading it. Which is a category of reader that my sister happens to fall into, I had to stop her from sneaking it out of the house, and promised her she could read it after my son and I were done with it. So if you have a voracious, curious little reader at home, or a snoopy curious, intelligent sister like I do, this book is a perfect match for them!

Publisher’s synopsis: Do you love trivia? Do you have a burning question? Then ask me one. Go on, anything you like. Why should you open me up, for instance?
Because I’m stuffed with trivia, facts, fun, and incredible info on just about everything you can think of. What’s the most dangerous spider? How much would you weigh if you lived on Venus? Where can you post letters underwater? I’ll also tell you how to split an atom, assemble an orchestra, and find out what happens when astronauts fart in their spacesuits.
You see, you really can ask me anything.
Our Rating: 5 out of 5
