50 Underwear Questions: A Bare-All History, by Tanya Lloyd Kyi (illustrated by Ross Kinnaird)



Apart from the fact that kids love these entertaining fact books with cartoon drawings and "Did you know" boxes, and apart from the fact that all kids find underwear hilarious, the history of underwear is just plain interesting. It's perfect bathroom reading for the whole family.

50 Climate Questions: A Blizzard of Blistering Facts, by Peter Christie (illustrated by Ross Kinnaird)


 
I love these "infotaining" fact books for kids, but this one is a little strange. The "question" part of this entry in the 50 Questions series is random, like an afterthought. Questions like "Question 16: Did barn dances come later?" only make sense after you've read the chapter and aren't very helpful when skimming a table of contents. It has lots of interesting information but it isn't really a "question and answer" book.
