Short and simple not long enough to answer all of my questions

I absolutely love this lift the flap book. The book goes through the question words (when, what, why, which, how, where, and yes or no?) and asks questions pertaining to our world. It asks questions dealing with weather, people, locations, recycling, water, and so much more. Great for the preschool question askers in your life!

A note: this book mentions the universe beginning to form 14 billion years ago, the world getting warmer, and alludes to evolution.

Meidän perheessä oikeastaan kaikki nauttivat näiden tietoluukkukirjojen lukemisesta. Tämä kirja tarjosi taas uutta tietoa (tai veresti vanhan muistia) jokaiselle kuuntelijalle.

Kirjassa oli myös hauska kuvitus ja oikein sopiva koko; useampi kirjasta kiinnostunut mahtui tutkimaan ja kääntelemään luukkuja!

Hieno luukkukirja, jossa mielenkiintoista tietoa. Vaikuttaisi olevan vielä ihan oikeita vastauksiakin pääosin.
