Everyday childhood activities, such as an excursion to the park,
splashing in the bathtub, or fixing a snack in the kitchen, can spark
many questions in young children. Why is the sky blue? Why does my
stomach g-r-r-owl? Why do cows moo? Curious kids want to know, and no
adult has all the answers.
Bestseller Why? provides kid-friendly explanations for nearly 100 of
these everyday mysteries in an engaging question-and-answer format. The
book takes young readers inside the kitchen and out to the park, from
the farm to the supermarket, and from bathtime to bedtime. Answers to
questions submitted by real kids reveal fascinating tidbits about
nature, science, and the world around us. Bright, playful illustrations
by Scot Ritchie set the scenes for the common questions that kids ask.
Whether read aloud at bedtime or explored in a classroom setting, Why?
is a kid-approved nonfiction pick that will encourage inquiry and
curiosity.
