Author & Illustrators
We are big fans of non-fiction books that get the level right for younger children, and this is an absolute gem!
Each page is themed around a ‘why’ question, and answers the questions in an encyclopaedia style format, with small chunks of text, images and large, clear photographs. We love the child-friendly language, the dip-in-dip-out nature of the book and the fun questions that will really appeal to curious little ones (such as ‘Why does popcorn pop?’, ‘Why does an octopus have suckers?’ and ‘Why do astronauts wear suits?’).
This book would make an excellent gift for a young child or a popular browsing choice in Reception classroom reading corners.
