Why?
The Best Ever Question and Answer Book about Nature, Science and the World around You
Catherine Ripley
illustrated by Scot Ritchie
Everyday childhood activities, like taking a trip to the park, splashing in the bathtub or fixing a snack in the kitchen, prompt so many questions for young children. Why? provides easily understood answers for dozens of these everyday mysteries.
One of the Canadian Toy Testing Council’s 25 Great Books for Children 2002, Why? is a perfect read-aloud that takes readers to the supermarket and the park; around the home and the farm; and from bathtime to bedtime. Along the way, the question-and-answer format rewards the reader with knowledge about nature, science and the world around us.
