Anyone with kids know that the most important question is “Why?” Curiosity is such an amazing thing when it comes to kids and we all know they are like little sponges and soak up any and all knowledge that we give them.
The Big Book of Why Crazy, Cool and Outrageous
This is an awesome book! When it first arrived my six year old started flipping through the pages and was amazed at all the questions and answers that this book was filled with. This book is a follow-up to the first Big Book of Why, which has sold more than 150,000 copies to date. With 192 pages of new content, Big Book of Why: Crazy, Cool and Outrageous is divided by subject area-the human body, animals, nature, the Earth, science, technology, transportation, U.S. and world history, world culture, arts and media and sports and games. Each answer is accompanied with either a photo or illustration
Sample questions and answers that are part of the Crazy, Cool and Outrageous:
Human Body:
Q. Why do I have nightmares?
A. Nightmares are just scary dreams. You might get them because your body is relieving stress, you are ill or you experienced something scary when you were awake.
Animals:
Q. Why are so many people afraid of spiders?
A. We’re not born afraid of spiders. It’s something we learn. Some scientists think humans are naturally worried about animals that move quickly, as spiders do, and the fact that some spiders are poisonous certainly adds to the fear factor.
Nature:
Outrageous!! Flowers are suppose to smell sweet, right? Well, don’t get a whiff of the massive Titan arum. This plant, which only flowers every four to six years, smells like rotting meat.
Space:
Cool!: Sometimes the sun shoots out massive amounts of magnetic energy, called solar flares. They can influence the weather on Earth, disturb radio communications, damage satellites and even cause temporary electrical blackouts.
Technology:
Crazy!: If there are aliens out in space, they could listen to radio shows from long ago. TV and radio signals are still traveling through space, as are cell phone calls.
As you can see for the examples above, this book is packed full of all types of fun information. The Big Book of Why: Crazy, Cool and Outrageous is an awesome book and has a SRV of $19.95.
