Why?: The Best Ever Question and Answer Book About Nature, Science, and the World Around You

From: $8.17

Everyday activities such as taking a trip to the park, splashing in the bathtub, or fixing a snack prompt many questions from young children. Why is the sky blue? Why is soap so slippery? Why do cows moo? Curious kids want to know, and adults never seem to have the answers. Why? provides easily understood explanations of dozens of everyday mysteries. This delightful book takes readers to the supermarket and the park, around the home and onto the farm, and from bath time to bedtime. Bright, playful illustrations are a perfect complement to the text, adding a further level of explanation.

My five and seven-yr old daughters both really enjoy this book. The younger one even took it to school for show-and-tell. It answers the most interesting questions, and does it with just the right amount of simplification. Highly recommended.

I ordered this book as a Christmas present for my 2 grandchildren, 6 years old. They are really enjoying having their WHY questions answered, and even lots of questions they never thought of are answered

From: Amazon Posted: Nov 21, 2001 Type: User Review Very good, except not as complete (big)as I would have liked

My 3 year old has already asked me many questions in this book,
so it hits the mark on being full of real questions that a real child would ask. The explanantions are short (about 1 paragraph)
and easy to understand - although I found the...
