Bookroo's summary

In a town where superheroes abound, Question Boy seeks the truth, but no hero can satisfy his insatiable curiosity. Enter Little Miss Know-It-All, who claims to have all the answers, even if she has to invent them. As they face off in the town park, the stakes are high: truth versus fabrication. Who will prevail in this vibrant clash of wits and words? Join the crowd and discover what it truly means to be right in a world where questions and answers collide.

From the publisher

It’s a factual face-off in this superhero picture book from all-star Peter Catalanotto. Question Boy wants answers. He lives for them. But none of the town’s action heroes–Oil Man, Paperboy, Police Woman–can satisfy Question Boy’s heroic need to know! Enter Little Miss Know-It-All. She has an answer for every who-what-where-when-and-how…and what she doesn’t know she simply makes up. And what about you? Ready for a wrangle? Keen on a quibble? Then come along to the town park to cheer the two of them on! Vibrant, rich illustrations merge fantasy with reality in this exploration of questions, answers, and what it means to be right.

It feels very reminiscent of actual children but showed both children as just obnoxious. Didn’t love it
