How?: The Most Awesome Question and Answer Book About Nature, Animals, People, Places and You!

by Catherine Ripley, Scot Ritchie (Illustrations)

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 all the answers.

In the same style as the highly successful Why? , How? 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. How? combines the best qualities of non-fiction and picture books to delight young readers again and again.

Read some awesome questions and answers.

[Mundie Moms & Mundie Kids · Rating 4 out of 5]

Ever wondered where birthday parties originated from, where libraries get their books from, and why some animals act the way they do? These are just a few of the questions that are answered in this new book for inquisitive kids. Questions from why do we get sick to how a car works, to questions about how sand is made, and much, much are answered and explained in a way that young kids will understand. With it's fun illustrations and easy to read text, HOW? would make a great addition to any home, school room or library.
