وقتی کلاس دوم بودم نصف زنگ تفریح‌هام با این گذشت:)))

[Samaneh Khanlari]

این کتاب اصل اصلش اسمش "آیا ...چگونه...چرا" بود وقتی که من دوره ی گمانم نه جلدی اش را خواندم...بعدها که تجدید چاپ شد اسمش هم عوض شد...این مجموعه کتاب از یک کودک دبستانی دانشمند کوچکی میسازد که هر جایی حرفی برای گفتن داشته باشد:))

I loved these books as a kid. So much so that I'd drag them around with me whenever our family traveled. I filled a suitcase with them one time, leaving the clothes behind. I'm still scolded to this day for that move.

[Emiliano]

A wonderful and informative book, that answered questions I never knew my mind asked; and gave knowledge I never realised my mind sought.
One of my best reads as a child. I'd reread it every holiday, cover to cover. I learnt so much!

[Peyman Rastgoo (پیمان راستگو )]

وای خدا اینا که همشون عالی بودن
وقتی اینو داشتیم فکر میکردیم گنجینه اسرار رو داریم و از همه کس همه چیز رو بیشتر میدونیم : ))

[Nima Nariman]

یکی از بهترین کتاب‌هایی که در زمان کودکی‌ام (وقتی کلاس اول یا دوم دبستان بودم). یک روز برادر بزرگ‌ترم که اتفاقا اصلا حوصله‌ی درس خوندن رو نداشت این کتاب‌ها رو خرید و بهم هدیه داد و شاید هر مطلبش رو اقلا ۳-۴ بار خوندم و عشق و علاقه‌ام به علم و دانش از همین جا شکل گرفت. اگر فرزند یا بچه‌ی کوچکی در اطرافتان دارید بهترین هدیه می‌تواند همین باشد

[Mohsen]

یک چهار جلدی بود،که به موضوعات مختلف علمی می پردازد مه برای نوجوانان نوسته شده.در دوران راهنمایی یک معلم علوم داشتیم که در مورد مطالب کتاب با بچه ها بحث می کرد.

منبع خوبي براي تمام تحقيقاي علوم دوره ي دبستان

[Ardalan]

Just found the Persian translation of this book among our old books and it reminded me of the sweet childhood and made me smile.

[Sherry Nick]

I have read most of its volumes since I was in middle school!

[Saurav Biswas]

A must-read for every kid. This book was my initiation into the world of science and reason. Brilliantly segregated into intriguing questions and answers, the author has an extremely fine grasp of a child's curious and ever-questioning mind. Even in the age of an information overload, when everything is available in great detail on the internet, this book has stood the test of time, undergone multiple revisions and remains as an excellent treasure trove of facts that is worth recommending to any child aged approx 8-14, anywhere in the world.

[Dawn K Cottini]

As a child, this was my go-to book, and I loved it. My mother bought it out of frustration: she was ill-equipped to answer my ceaseless queries, which swelled to the point of annoyance. I was delighted! My special book was ever-accessible and didn’t tell me I was irritating. My not-so-clever mom also purchased a set of Encyclopædia Britannica. (One of her few light bulb moments.) Tell Me Why, my encyclopædias, dictionary and thesaurus were my siblings, teachers and companions. They shaped the nerdy, wordy, loveable know-it-all I am today and I am eternally grateful.

[Nikki]

Interesting. The fact that is from 60's makes it unique.

[Ayesha Saqlain]

Can't read

[Nate Lord]

[Kiran Habibullah]

"irresistible read"

[Reyhaneh Ps]

به گمونم يك دوره ى ٩ جلدى بود كتاب هاى " به من بگو چرا؟" كه به عنوان يك بچه ى دبستانى با خوندنش كلى حس دانشمندى به آدم دست ميداد! خيلى از تحقيقات و مشقهامون رو هم از روى اين كتابها مى نوشتيم. يادش بخير!

[for-much-deliberation ...]

Contains information on just about anything in the world, history, science, geography, anything!! This is the first volume in the 'Tell Me Why' series.

[Prashansa]

[Malika]
