Why? The Best Ever Question and Answer Book about Nature, Science and the World around You

Everyday childhood activities, such as an excursion to the park, splashing in the bathtub, or fixing a snack in the kitchen, can arouse many questions in young children. Why is the sky blue?

The 10th anniversary edition of Why? provides kid-friendly explanations for nearly one hundred of these everyday mysteries for a whole new generation of children.

The question and answer format reveals fascinating tidbits about nature, science and the world around us. Bright, playful illustrations by Scot Ritchie are the perfect complement, setting the scenes for the common questions that kids ask. Perfect for reading aloud at bedtime or in a classroom setting, Why? combines the best qualities of nonfiction and picture book to delight young readers.
