I had the pleasure of receiving an advance reading copy of The Brain Cafe's Eva Everything's latest book "What Does The Earth Sound Like?" Every page has a different random, ridiculous, and amazing science question on one side, with multiple choice possible answers below, the answers are just a turn of the page away, with a short paragraph of explanation. This little book is stuffed FULL of interesting science trivia tidbits. My kids and I love picking it up at random and quizzing ourselves and each other, and learning new facts. We use the book while waiting for snack time, or when Grandma had to leave after her visit and kids needed distracted. I know it'll be indispensable on road trips and long shopping trips. I think it'd be a great gift book for people recovering from illness or stuck in the hospital after surgery, or for use as an ice breaker in any small support group setting, or casual party game. In fact, I loved this book so much, I'll be buying more copies to give away on my blog, dirttogrowon.blogspot.com, where I featured it as one of my top reads for this month.
