National Geographic Little Kids First Big Book of Why

Why It's On Our Shelf

This book takes the endless why questions kids ask and actually answers them with real information. Why is the sky blue? Why do we have to sleep? Why do zebras have stripes? The National Geographic photos are stunning and add visual interest beyond just the text. What makes this valuable is that it treats children's questions as legitimate and worth answering thoroughly, not just with 'because I said so' or oversimplified answers. It's the kind of book families can keep around to look things up when questions come up, making it a reference as much as a read-through. The organization by category makes it easy to find topics of interest.
