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

by Catherine Ripley, Scott Ritchie

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.

Los libros No Fiction tambien son muy necesarios.
Inetersante, entretenido, de lo mejor para que nuestros ninos aprendan un poco de todo.

This is a great book to use for speech-language therapy for students to learn about "Why", "How", and "Where" questions in a context that is educational, practical, and that depicts every day occurrences. Great illustrations too.

My five year old daughter and I read this book at night before bedtime. We really liked the interesting questions and answers and learned something new each night. My daughter says the artist is really good too!

Anyone who works with young children has probably heard the question "why" a few times. This book is written in Q&A style and answers questions over a variety of topics such as "Why does popcorn pop" or "Why do tulips close up at night?". Since it has such a variety of information, I think that students would really enjoy this book and it would be great to use during a transition time.
