Has a slug ever been to space? When did life begin? Why do we have two nostrils? Following on from 'The Bedtime Book of Impossible Questions', science writer Isabel Thomas provides EVEN MORE answers to the weird, wonderful and downright dumbfounding questions that buzz around children's brains at bedtime.
