Whether you’re a born-and-raised Missourian, a recent transplant, or just passing through, Missouri Curiosities will have you laughing out loud as Josh Young takes you on a rollicking tour of the strangest sides of the Show-Me State.
Wander with tigers at the world’s only big cat bed-and-breakfast, browse through America’s only corncob pipe museum, and swim in the world’s largest underground lake.
Meet some crazy catfish-catching noodlers; a wacky-artwork-welding artist; and a pint-size, punch-packing former wrestling champ.

I have each of the previous editions and this Third Edition is outstanding. Josh's humor makes every entry sound like a must-see place to visit. l love his take on Precious Moments, and laughed all the way through his discussion of, "Pie ala mode $2.50, Pie ala mode with ice cream, $3." Even if you don't visit or live in Missouri, this is a wonderful, funny read.
