92. Why do elves have pointy ears? With Lauren Child. How do sharks hear? Are stars meant to go on top of the Christmas tree or angels?

Full Episode description

On this award-winning show Molly Oldfield, the original QI elf, Guardian kids’ quiz compiler and writer (of four books), answers questions sent in by children around the world.

This week Lauren Child, author of Charlie and Lola, Clarice Bean and Ruby Redfort answers the extra Christmassy question ‘why do elves have pointy ears?’. We pick the winner from last week’s competition and we offer the chance to win a copy of Lauren Child’s book Think Like An Elf and an elf-tastic tea towel!

Continuing with the ear-themed questions, we also answer Nella’s question ‘how do sharks hear?’ and we tackle another Christmas question from Martha, ‘are stars meant to go on top of the Christmas tree or angels?’
