Have you ever wondered why our tummies rumble or what causes earthquakes?

Do rabbits fart? Do birds kiss? What is colour blindness? And just why IS snot green?!

A new book has been launched to help answer these and loads more really curious science questions.

It's called Why is Snot Green?

The book covers everything from the Big Bang to bodily functions and cool gadgets. It was written by Glenn Murphy, who works for the Science Museum in London.

Kids kept asking Glenn difficult questions at the museum so he decided to write the book to ask some of the trickiest and most interesting ones.

We've got three copies of the book to give away. All you have to do to get your hands on a book is to tell us why we should give you a book about snot. The best answers will win a book. Remember to send your email address so we can get in touch with you.

If you want to learn more about science then Show Me's science and technology section is full of fun games, experiments and info.
