I Wonder Why Soap Makes Bubbles and Other Questions About Science

Questions

by Barbara Taylor

Children are fascinated by the world around them, and "why" is a favourite word. This series takes as its starting point this natural desire to understand the world, and then feeds it with text and illustrations designed both to entertain and to inform. This book focuses on science in everyday life and covers topics such as why soap makes bubbles, why a teaspoon gets hot when you stir cocoa, and why grass is green.

This is wonderful for young students who are starting to explore researching. It is also very well broken down to answer many scientific curiosities that children may have.

I love this series of books. This one was less focused, and a more general than the rest of the series. It was still interesting though.
