John Murray Publishers Ltd (Verlag)
978-1-3998-2812-3 (ISBN)
Pondering the questions only kids would think to ask, this hilarious, poignant collection captures the wonder of a child's imagination, brought to life by beloved New Yorker cartoonist Liana Finck.
'A chance to leave all adult frippery behind and ponder what's really important - our children have known it all along. This book is cleansing, reassuring, funny, and frequently profound; I loved it'. Susie Dent
Why does a ghost wander? Are bubbles in drinks their thoughts? Do dogs have chins? Where does the dark go when the light comes on? How will it feel on the last day I'm a child?
What's the best question a kid ever asked you? When Sarah Manguso posted this question online, she immediately received hundreds of answers. Gathering more than one hundred of the best questions from this poll and bringing them brilliantly to life with illustrations by New Yorker cartoonist Liana Finck, Do Dogs Have Chins? ranges from the ridiculous to the sublime - encompassing birth, death, love dinosaurs, and everything in between - to show us the wit and wisdom of children in all their wondrous glory.
'This book is for anyone who has secret questions in their mind they are too embarrassed to ask out loud. In other words, this book is for everyone' Lemony Snicket, bestselling author of A Series of Unfortunate Events and All the Wrong Questions
