The Big Book of Whys for Curious Kids: Simple Answers to Questions About Science, Animals, Space, History, Weird Facts, and How Things Work

Does your child ask "why?" all day long? The Big Book of Whys for Curious Kids gives children ages 8-12 clear, fascinating answers to the big questions they actually ask - about the human body, space, animals, nature, history, science, and how the world works. Why do we dream? Why is the Sun so hot? Why do animals act the way they do? Why do people go to war? Why does your stomach growl? Why do stars shine? Perfect for curious kids, reluctant readers, homeschool families, classroom discussion, road trips, bedtime reading, and screen-free learning time. Unlike books filled with one-line facts, this book explains the "why" behind each answer in simple, child-friendly language - with enough detail to make every idea memorable without feeling like a textbook.
