Since 1976, when the first issue of OWL Magazine hit newsstands, curious kids have written to its editors with their most baffling questions. Why are feet so ticklish? Who got to name the planets? Can animals get sunburned? How do rubber bands stretch? You Asked? is a giant collection of nearly 350 of the best questions submitted by years worth of OWL readers. Answers to these tough and intriguing questions are provided by OWL and chickaDEE’s savvy editors and are guaranteed to fascinate, amaze, inform, and provide lots of fun. Complete with retro photographs and illustrations, this re-issue of a classic tackles subjects like science and technology, outer space, and plants and animals — because if one thing never changes, it’s the fact that inquisitive kids (and stumped parents) have questions about the world around them.
