Kids ask the darndest questions--and the answers make for a funny and fascinating(Publishers Weekly) book.

Wendell Jamieson's son, Dean, has always had a penchant for asking odd questions. Dad, what would hurt more--getting run over by a car, or getting stung by a jellyfish? Dad, why do policemen like donuts? Dad, does Mona Lisa wear shoes? Because Dad is a newspaperman and city editor for The New York Times, he decided to seek out the real answers to Dean's questions from top experts--movie directors and ship captains, brain surgeons and stabbing victims, a Buddhist monk and a bra fitter, and even Yoko Ono. Their father-son journey for answers to the tough--and weird--questions of life is a sometimes surprising, often hilarious, and always fascinating celebration of the value and beauty of childlike curiosity.
