NEW FOR 2025 ⬆️ From Rion: Repeat that title! There are no silly questions! Author Mike Rampton teams up with experts at the University of Cambridge to answer more than 200 wonderfully weird questions (Do dinosaurs sneeze? Why do we have two nostrils but only one mouth?) with scientific accuracy and some humor. The explanations + Guilherme Karsten's illustrations prove that curiosity deserves a thoughtful response. Perfect for all of our young thinkers who want to understand the world and feel encouraged to keep asking.

NEW FOR 2025 ⬆️ From Rion: I love King Arthur Baking Company. Not only do they have great products, but they're a certified B Corp and 100% employee owned. Sweet & Salty is their new cookbook with almost 100 recipes for young bakers (and me, evidently): monkey bread, pretzel bites, super-size peanut butter cup tarts, garlic knots, homemade ice cream sandwiches, empanadas three ways, and more.

NEW FOR 2025 ⬆️ From Rion: I ordered Smug Owls as soon as I read about it. Make up answers to randomly generated riddles—"funny, punny, clever, profound, nonsensical, you name it"—earning cards to win the game. This family party game has over 130,000 possible riddles in the box and you can easily take them on the go. I especially love how creative and interactive it is. Mensa Recommended!
