I Wonder Why Stars Twinkle Kf

Children are fascinated by the world around them, and "why" is a favourite word. This series takes as its starting point this natural desire to understand the world, and then feeds it with text and illustrations designed both to entertain and to inform. This book focuses on astronomy, and each spread contains one, two or three questions which investigate a specific theme or topic. Alongside are additional snippets of relevant information. Editorial Reviews Review Children's Literature answers are simply written, but they don't shy away from scientific language, difficult issues, or remaining mysteries.
