About this audiobook
Ponder, if you will ...
What is the difference between a kit and a caboodle?
Why don't people get goose bumps on their faces?
Where do houseflies go in the winter?
What causes that ringing sound in your ears?
Pop-culture guru David Feldman demystifies these topics and so much more in Why Do Clocks Run Clockwise? -- the unchallenged source of answers to civilization's most nagging questions. Part of the Imponderables® series and charmingly illustrated by Kassie Schwan, Why Do Clocks Run Clockwise? challenges readers with the knowledge about everyday life that encyclopedias, dictionaries, and almanacs just don't have. And think about it, where else are you going to get to the bottom of why hot dogs come ten to a package while hot dog buns come in eights?

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Great collection of imponderables in the form of questions and answers.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Full of interesting trivia.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Another great Imponderables book, very interesting questions and some surprising answers.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The book is one of a series in which everyday things are examined and explained. While it certainly does not represent the last word in scholarship or accuracy, for the most the part the information provided seems reliable. It is at least thorough enough for the casual reader, which seems to be the target audience. Anyone who is interested in something more complete will probably already know or be willing to research deeper.
