Things That Make You Go Hmmm! - Hardcover

by Gary J. Spack (Author)

In the illustrated children's story, Things That Make You Go Hmmm!, eight-year-old Freddie is very curious and inquisitive. He likes to ask questions, lots and lots of questions.

His best friend Robbie actually calls him Faq, because of all his frequently asked questions.

After asking his mom why peanut butter and jelly isn't called jelly and peanut butter, Faq's questions turn into a funny and clever play on words, as well as a play on figurative and literal language.

As Freddie goes about his typical third grade school day, his question-asking world turns into something that will also make you ponder and wonder about all the Things That Make You Go Hmmm!

About The Author: Gary J. Spack is a recently retired elementary school teacher who taught third and fifth grades. "This book is based on my actual interactions with my third grade students. I would say silly things to them and ask ridiculous, nonsensical questions to make connections, develop rapport, have fun with them, make them laugh, and most importantly, just make them think." This is his fourth book. He also wrote The Snack Machine (2017), The Cat Burglars (2019), and Maggie's Marvelous Misadventures (2021). He lives in Newtown, Pennsylvania, with his wife Michele and their two cats Pebbles and Bam Bam, the inspiration for The Cat Burglars.
