| book description |

Why do we fear the number 13, knock on wood, and carry lucky charms? Superstitions dives into the strange, spooky, and sometimes silly beliefs that have shaped cultures for centuries. From rabbits’ feet to avoiding cracks in the sidewalk, this fascinating book uncovers the surprising stories behind the rituals we follow—often without even knowing why! Packed with quirky facts, global traditions, and a dash of mystery, this book invites curious kids to explore the line between belief and logic. Are these old customs just tricks of the mind—or is there something more magical at play? Discover Global Superstitions: Explore wild and wonderful beliefs from around the world—about numbers, animals, objects, and more. Interactive Fun: Includes a search-and-find game woven throughout the pages to keep readers engaged and entertained. Eye-Catching Illustrations: Created by a professional animator, the artwork brings each superstition to life with humor, charm, and a touch of the unexpected. Builds Critical Thinking: Encourages kids to question what they believe, explore the psychology behind fear and luck, and think about how traditions shape our behavior.
