This charming book teaches little ones about animal kingdom. There are questions and answers about different animals. Each question includes silly and scientifically correct answers. An example question is Why are Zebras striped? I love this approach to teach kids about animals. It promotes critical thinking, imagination, conversations, and creativity. It is easy to read and eye catching. I asked my kiddo why do crocodiles cry ? and she said because they want candy . Haha! Grab this book to see what the scientifically correct answer is (and many more). A sweet and interactive book will have kids laughing, giggling and having a good time while learning. We sure did!-- (01/28/2019) (review of previous version) Why? is a book for both the smart-aleck and the knowledge-seeker -- which co-exist, of course, in every child.-- (08/18/2009)
