The Question Is Why?

by Jeff Yager, Nancy Batra (Illustrator)

At a certain age, children become very curious and they start asking “Why?” When a parent (teacher, educator, grandparent) responds with an answer, these inquisitive children will often respond with another “Why?” THE QUESTION IS WHY? was inspired by the author’s son, Bradley. There are 26 different questions and answers, each corresponding to a letter of the alphabet, as well as a surprise bonus question at the end of this educational and fun children’s book. There is also a list of additional activities parents and educators can do with children to inspire inquiring minds as well as a list of related children’s books to explore.
