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 award-winning author Michael Morpurgo tackles the question 'why are there always problems in stories?' and there's a chance to win a copy of two of Michael's amazing books, Owl Or Pussycat? or The Puffin Keeper!

We also answer Rory's question about whether owls can see in ultraviolet light and we explore the origins of all sorts of collective nouns as we take on Isabel's question about naming groups of animals.
