How?
The Most Awesome Question and Answer Book about Nature, Animals, People, Places—and You!
La description
When Oma arrives to stay with Jake, Lizzie, and their parents, they want to make her visit extra special — so off the family goes to Jake's birthday party, the library, the beach, and many other places! These familiar childhood excursions prompt many questions from Jake and Lizzie. How do candles stay on fire? How do librarians remember where all the books go? How does the sand get so hot? Curious kids everywhere want to know — and no adult has he answers. In the same style as the highly successful provides kid-friendly explanations for nearly one hundred everyday mysteries. Bright, playful illustrations from Scot Ritchie complement the clear text and set the scenes for the common questions that kids ask. A scrapbook-style page at the end of each chapter offers additional information in snapshots and captions that combines the best qualities of non-fiction and picture books to delight young readers again and again.

An exceptional and welcome companion to last year's Why?

A great resource where children can seek out answers to their questions about all sorts of daily experiences…As a tool of inquiry, it teaches children how to begin to probe more deeply into the hows and whys of the world.

...invariably clear and easy to understand. ..the real fun lies in wandering, enjoying the illustrations, and flipping through the pages until a question grabs your attention.
