This is a GREAT BOOK. The Easter bunny also shops at Amazon. This is also a great price for this informative, great quality book. It answers a lot of questions and creates alot of great dialogue between kids and parents. My son and I have learned alot together . I think that's very important that he understands there is always something new to be learned even when you get older! Good book with nice pictures & very easy to read print! My son is 7 and enjoys the book during mom and dad time! Highly recommend for sure!

We bought this book for the first time as a gift for our 10 year old grandson as a Christmas gift. He and our 7-year old granddaughter (they are cousins) spent most of the evening devouring it and they both loved it! They kept telling us some "facts" from the book! It was a big hit, and I plan to buy him some more books from this series for his May birthday, and this same Book of Why for our granddaughter for her April birthday! I had looked at others online from other companies and this was the brightest, had the best photos and colors, plus interesting information.

First off, I bought this for my son who is 7 and constantly asking me oddball questions that I don't have an answer to without "Googling". I thought this would be a nice book to capture his attention and I was right. He absolutely LOVES this book. He wouldn't put it down and kept telling me about everything as he read it. He was highly interested in the types of questions that were included and found a few that he had been wondering about himself. This is well formatted for kids and for that I give it a big thumbs up. He is an excellent reader but not typically interested in many fiction books so this was a great choice for him.As a parent, I also find the book inviting, the table of contents is well laid out and questions are grouped in to similar topics. However, having read several of the answers, I'd have to say I can't quite give it a 5 star ranking. The answers are good for children, but if your child truly wants an answer they really aren't going to get much more than a paragraph on most topics. The answers appear to be somewhat valid but I would consider them to be just a taste of an answer. There isn't much depth, just a high level answer provided.Overall, great choice for what I personally was looking for---an engaging book to encourage my young reader. If you are looking for super solid content maybe something like an encyclopedia would be a better choice.

My seven year old is glued to this book! He always has something new to tell me after reading, which is an indicator that the book is engaging enough for him to recall what he read. I give it five stars since it has really interesting information, and the book itself has lots of lovely pictures, which makes for a very good book for young ones! I highly recommend it to parents wanting a fun book that is also educational for their youngsters!

My 8 year old grandson called to confess to me that he will not be able to read this book in a day. he said he tried, and started to get a headache. I assured him it was OK to take months, even years, to read all that information. He then proceeded to give me interesting details about everything from why the Titanic sunk to why bugs do what they do. Delighted with his response to this book.

great book (Quite heavy for hardcover version). Each page has one big question (why do volcanoes erupt? Why is the sky blue? etc) that fosters questions and observations in children. Love it! Would buy it again and would offer it. Good from 6 years old and up (probably until 10-11). It is best if child can already read as this is a page by page read.

This was purchased for my son, age 9, who is very interested in why things work, happen, etc. This book will, hopefully, help answer his questions. Although I would like to think I know EVERYTHING, I dont, so I have actually learned a thing or two as well. I am also picking one up for his school classroom, I think his classmates will love it.Great investment! Pick one up today.... It might save you some headache of googling everything.
