WHY DO WE CELEBRATE HALLOWEEN?

A Very Silly Book About a Very Spooky Holiday

Why do we celebrate Halloween?

Is it because dentists need more cavities to fill?
Because mummies ran out of toilet paper?
Because pumpkins get sad when nobody gives them a face?

Gus has questions. And ridiculous guesses. Lots of them.

Join Gus and Jim as they investigate some hilariously wrong explanations for Halloween before discovering where the holiday really came from—and how its traditions developed along the way.

Meet Gus

Question boy waving from the book Why Do People Fart?

He has questions.

His questions lead to more questions.

And occasionally those questions involve pirates, poop, boogers, farts, exploding balloons, and things adults would rather not discuss at the dinner table.

Fortunately, Gus isn’t afraid to ask.

Want to know when Gus’s next ridiculous question hits bookshelves?
