Each fascinating question about the world around us is answered with one of Brian's unforgettable, witty and characterful poems. Expect the hilarious, thought-provoking, poignant – and downright silly!

Brian’s poems are accompanied by an extra non-fiction explainer, filled with facts and written with just as much humour and heart as the poems. Prepare to find some amazing stories and information to share with your family, teachers and friends!
