Nicole (book.quill) (nbolinpin) | 14 comments A children's science series. Black and white hardcover with varying subjects. A bunch of questions and quick blurbs and black and white illustrations throughout. I would've read it in the early 2000s. They were great!

Nicole, can you give some specific examples of the science topics? Biology, chemistry, astronomy, etc.? Experiments?


Nicole (book.quill) (nbolinpin) | 14 comments It was all. Each one covered a range of questions under a big subject if I remember correctly

One of the Usborne books? They have different cover images and authors. For example:

- The Usborne Illustrated Dictionary of Science by Corinne Stockley?
- The Usborne First Encyclopedia of Science by Rachel Firth?


Nicole (book.quill) (nbolinpin) | 14 comments Unfortunately not

Amanda (misterfive) | 215 comments Maybe the Tell Me Why: Answers to Hundreds of Questions Children Ask series? It's an older series, but it looks like it was republished in the 1990s: The Big Book of Tell Me Why: Answers to Hundreds of Questions Children Ask

Adele | 1435 comments There's the Handy Answer series: https://www.goodreads.com/series/8670...

Which includes books on general science: The Handy Science Answer Book by Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh

weather: The Handy Weather Answer Book by Walter A. Lyons

physics: The Handy Physics Answer Book by P. Erik Gundersen

biology: The Handy Biology Answer Book by James E. Bobick

And many others. I looked inside one on Amazon and it does have questions and answers and some black and white illustrations.
