The Ig Nobel Prize has been given annually since 1991 to scientists doing surprising work. Awards have been given for collecting whale snot, measuring what jumps further - cat fleas or dog fleas. And for scientifically answering questions like: Are mosquitos attracted to Limburger cheese? Do old men really have bigger ears? Does it matter to a cow if you give her a name? Can you swim faster in water or Syrup?
Cute illustrations lend even more comedy to this already subject funny book. I learned about so many things. Fun Quizzes at the end of every section check to see if the reader was paying attention. How could we not! It's so interesting! The only thing I didn't like . . . it's another too tall non-fiction book. I can't put it on the shelf, so although I loved so much about it, I won't be buying a copy for my library. It just won't fit.
