Why doesn’t my answer with column specifiers included in parantheses after table name get accepted?

INSERT INTO book (title, isbn, pages, price, description, publisher)
VALUES (
  'Postgres for Beginners',
  '0-5980-6249-1',
  25,
  4.99,
  'Learn Postgres the Easy Way',
  'Codecademy Publishing'
);

select * from book
where title = 'Postgres for Beginners';

I know this is late but for anyone else wondering, whilst this is a correct solution, I believe it isn’t accepted as it isn’t necessary to specify which columns you are inserting to if you are adding data to all the columns. Please correct me if I’m wrong!
