Hey, Smarty Pants. Have you heard our Encyclopedia episode? Maybe you're listening to it right now.

I'm kind of obsessed with encyclopedias, those huge sets of books that contain a little bit of

knowledge about, well, pretty much everything. When I was just a little narrator, about your age,

my parents kept an encyclopedia in our house. So if I wanted to learn about volcanoes or dinosaurs or outer space, I opened my encyclopedia

and read all about it.

I could easily spend an hour reading and learning, but something was missing.

To be totally honest, encyclopedias back then were actually a little boring.

Lots of words, not too many pictures, and no games.

Which got me thinking, what if I could create an encyclopedia that had all the learning of my old encyclopedia and all the fun games and laughs of who smarted?

So I did. I created the encyclopedia of smarting just for you,

Smarty Pants. They're the kind of books I wish someone had made for me when I was just a young narrator.

For the first three volumes, I went with dinosaurs, food, and explosions. Three topics I know Who Smarted fans will love.

Packed with amazing illustrations, insane facts, games, trivia, and of course, jokes.

These are like having supersized Who Smarted episodes available anytime to enjoy with friends or family.

Carry them in your backpack, bring them to your

friend's house, show them to your teacher, or just enjoy them at night before bedtime. No matter how

you use them, I know you'll love them. Of course, creating encyclopedia costs money. It takes

researchers, writers, game designers, and illustrators to bring it to life,

which is why I launched this ambitious project as a Kickstarter. That means it's crowdfunded,

which is another way of saying, if there isn't enough interest in the encyclopedia of smarting,

then I won't actually go ahead with making it. As of right now,

I'm about halfway to my goal, which means I'm counting on you to help us get to the finish line.
