50 Burning Questions

Celebrate Science Week with Dublin City Libraries. There are a lot of books to enjoy from our TumbleBooks collection. Today, we have chosen ‘50 Burning Questions’, written Tanya Lloyd Kyi and illustrated by Ross Kinnaird. This non-fiction book answers fifty questions about fire, like ‘where was the first lighthouse?’, ‘who were the first firefighters?’ and ‘why don’t firewalkers get toasted feet?’ It also includes many interesting experiments. 

To find today’s book just log into Tumblebook Library and search for the title. This book is suitable for ages 9+
