Summary

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?”
