Twenty Questions

Notes From Your Bookseller

As a parent, I'm always on the lookout for a book that can extend story time beyond just a few minutes. As a reader, finding something unique and clever is exhilarating. Twenty Questions by Barnett and Robinson is a discussion starter, a noggin scratcher, and an invitation to embrace our curious brains.

Not all questions have answers. Some have more than one answer. And others have endless answers, unfolding out to the edges of the world. In this spare yet expansive narrative, acclaimed author Mac Barnett poses twenty questions both playful and profound. Some make us giggle. Others challenge our assumptions. The result is a quirky, wandering exploration of where the best questions lead—to stories. Intriguing, richly interactive, and brought to vivid life by Caldecott Honor recipient Christian Robinson’s bright and whimsical illustrations, Twenty Questions is a charming invitation to speculate without limits and know no bounds.
