What a brilliant idea and a brilliant book. hugely entertaining. I listened to it in the car with young children, and there were lots of "Why" How" questions - they were really engaged.

this is well thought-out, excellently narrated, and is the sort of book you say to friends," You've gotta get this for the kids/grandkids.

Very enjoyable.

Fun, Fascinating, and Perfectly Kid-Friendly

This audiobook is packed with unique and unexpected stories that kept me hooked from start to finish. The collection balances humor and history so well, making even the most outrageous facts feel engaging and educational. I loved how the stories were short and easy to follow, yet full of surprises—like learning how a sandwich could start a war! It's the kind of audiobook that sparks curiosity and inspires kids (and adults) to see the world a little differently.

short, fun stories!

This book says it is for kids, but I'm 35 and I enjoyed it too :p

The stories are nice and short - they won't lose you droning on and on. The narrator has a fun voice. There are stories about animal heroes, people going over Niagara falls, and historical events. I would normally be bored by history, to be honest, but these are great! They only share the most fascinating details - not like boring history lessons in school. I learned things without feeling like I was doing anything educational.

I did purchase this for a 7-year-old, and she loved it, too! We both highly recommend.

We had so much fun!

We had so much fun listening with my 8-year-old. There is a little to learn about a lot and "Interesting Stories for Curious Kids" is a collection of curiosities kids are unlikely to find in school books.
The narration is perfect for the content.
Love the book and highly recommend it!
