Unraveling intriguing mysteries in everyday life

"Do Elephants Jump? could be a good read for those who are curious about the hidden mysteries that surround us. The book unravels bizarre questions about everyday life, such as why pianos have 88 keys and how the hole gets in the needle of a syringe. The author, David Feldman, is a pop culture guru who presents these imponderable questions in a charming and humorous way. Readers would enjoy this book for its engaging storytelling and mind-boggling answers to some of life's oddest questions."

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
