From the Back Cover

Why Does Bright Sunlight Make You Sneeze?
Sometimes, the most tantalizing mysteries are right in front of us. In 134 questions and answers, "How Come? In the Neighborhood" explains the conundrums of everyday life. Mysteries in the kitchen--why mold grows on bread, and why cow's milk is white. In the bathroom--where earwax comes from, and how we throw up (yuck!). Plus puzzlers at school, on vacation, and in the backyard. It used to be just your neighborhood; now it's your very own laboratory!
