Why? 10th Anniversary Edition by Catherine Ripley
Luckily, CJ isn't quite at the stage where his favorite word is "why?". From the looks he sometimes gives me, I know that it is going to be coming real soon. It is a good thing that I got a copy of this book from Owlkids Books to review. I was a very curious child and I know CJ is going to be the same way.
Why? by Catherine Ripley is a handy reference for all those times when your child asks you "why?" when you tell him something. For example, has this ever occurred? Mom : Go brush your teeth. Child : But why?! Well, thanks to this book, you will now know the answer.
The book is divided into six different sections. They are bathtime, supermarket, nighttime, outdoor, kitchen, and farm animals. Some of the questions answered include "Why do I yawn?", "Why do dogs sniff everything?" and "Why are peaches fuzzy?". Each chapter also ends with a "bits" section that gives you a little bit more information on that section's topic. Did you know that birds don't have teeth to grind their food? So they eat dirt and stones to grind the food up in their gizzard. Who knew?
This is a really great book for those curious kids. It is also good for parents to read beforehand, so that when your child starts asking you questions, you can seem like even more of a genius than you already are.
