Very informative and accessible book for children。 Split into sections of Amazing Me （e。g。 'Why does Grandma have wrinkles？'）， How Things Work （e。g。 'Why do Planes fly？'）， Animals All Around （e。g。 'Why do worms come out when it rains？'）， Wonders Of The World （e。g。 'Why don't islands sink？'）。 Great suggestions of practical activities for kids to see this in action and tips for engaging their children in these questions of life （e。g。 creating a dream journal with their children）。 Visually stimulat Very informative and accessible book for children。 Split into sections of Amazing Me （e。g。 'Why does Grandma have wrinkles？'）， How Things Work （e。g。 'Why do Planes fly？'）， Animals All Around （e。g。 'Why do worms come out when it rains？'）， Wonders Of The World （e。g。 'Why don't islands sink？'）。 Great suggestions of practical activities for kids to see this in action and tips for engaging their children in these questions of life （e。g。 creating a dream journal with their children）。 Visually stimulating with facts， figures and pictures。 。。。more

As with the others in this series， this is a fun book full of great information geared towards a younger audience。 None of it is overwhelming， and it seems to answer some of the more basic questions of "Why？" you might be asked。 At the least， it'll definitely get them thinking！ If you have a curious kid， or perhaps one you want to instill more sense of curiosity， this is a great book to get them。 As with the others in this series， this is a fun book full of great information geared towards a younger audience。 None of it is overwhelming， and it seems to answer some of the more basic questions of "Why？" you might be asked。 At the least， it'll definitely get them thinking！ If you have a curious kid， or perhaps one you want to instill more sense of curiosity， this is a great book to get them。 。。。more

This book is packed with information。 It is about how things work。 I think it would be a perfect guide to be the expert on a topic from within the book and make a mini presentation on the said topic。 My daughter finds it fascinating and she is in third grade。 I think this book could be for students from first grade on。

It was going so great until 。 。 。 page 40: when a diagram of a house （explaining gravity） had the toilet sewage going down to a woman with a garden hose， and she is spraying the plants with poopy water。 They even included a diagram which described poop-eating bacteria。 Ugh。 Bad editing， poor picture。Page 73: "If they [the iceworms] get too warm， they melt。"Iceworms don't melt。 It was going so great until 。 。 。 page 40: when a diagram of a house （explaining gravity） had the toilet sewage going down to a woman with a garden hose， and she is spraying the plants with poopy water。 They even included a diagram which described poop-eating bacteria。 Ugh。 Bad editing， poor picture。Page 73: "If they [the iceworms] get too warm， they melt。"Iceworms don't melt。 。。。more

A fascinating book that will captivate inquisitive kids （and adults） for days！ It's packed with information about everything from why we need to eat certain foods， to why doughnuts have holes， why plants grow upwards， why there are rainbows， why some people have curly and others straight hair， why planes fly， why boats float， and loads more。 With straightforward text and clear pictures even young children can follow the explanations， and yet the content is rich and varied enough to extend older A fascinating book that will captivate inquisitive kids （and adults） for days！ It's packed with information about everything from why we need to eat certain foods， to why doughnuts have holes， why plants grow upwards， why there are rainbows， why some people have curly and others straight hair， why planes fly， why boats float， and loads more。 With straightforward text and clear pictures even young children can follow the explanations， and yet the content is rich and varied enough to extend older ones too。 Highly recommended for whenever kids have time on their hands。Reviewed for www。GoodReadingGuide。com 。。。more

My 4 year old daughter is loving this book， and so are her parents！ It is full of questions that children tend to ask and parents are often stumped by （such as why is the sky blue， why does grandma have wrinkles， etc。。。）。 The answers are clear and simply described-just enough information。 Perfect for kids ages 5-8。。。 and maybe a bit older or younger depending on the child。

The content of Little Kids First Big Book of Why strengthens a 4-5 year old child’s vocabulary skills by introducing them to new words and concepts。 As the child practices reading this book， speech and language development continues to grow， and comprehension of text and meaning also deepen。 In addition to strengthening comprehension， the child’s motivation for print is increased when they realize that books contain facts and information to help them understand the world around them。
