When Oma arrives to stay with Jake, Lizzie, and their parents, they want
to make her visit extra special -- so off the family goes to Jake's
birthday party, the library, the beach, and many other places! These
familiar childhood excursions prompt many questions from Jake and
Lizzie. How do candles stay on fire? How do librarians remember where
all the books go? How does the sand get so hot? Curious kids everywhere
want to know -- and no adult has all the answers.
In the same style as the highly successful Why?, How? provides
kid-friendly explanations for nearly one hundred everyday mysteries.
Bright, playful illustrations complement the clear text and set the
scenes for the common questions kids ask. A scrapbook-style page at the
end of each chapter offers additional information in snapshots and
captions. How? combines the best qualities of non-fiction and picture
books to delight young readers again and again.
