A year of curious facts and odd questions

Organized around the 365 days of the year, this collection offers a fact, anecdote, story, or question for each day. Its examples range from unusual animal abilities and curious natural phenomena to peculiar historical names and unlikely practical feats. That variety gives the book the character of a daily browse through the strange and surprising, with questions inviting readers to follow their curiosity. Edward Brooke-Hitching is the author, and Oksana Drachkovska provides the illustrations. The description presents the entries as true, making the book a mix of bite-sized reading and unusual factual material rather than a single continuous narrative.

  • Children ages 9–12 who enjoy unusual facts and anecdotes
