Reader reviewed by Rita Lorraine Hubbard, The Original H.I.R. (Historical Investigative Reporter)

The editors at Time for Kids have done it again! Time for Kids BIG Book of Why, makes its debut this month, and it is definitely one of their best products ever.

Not only does this book have a sleek, colorful design and a surprisingly light-weight feel that makes it easy to handle, it also wisely comes in a sturdy hardback binding, guaranteeing to hold up under the scores of eager fingers destined to thumb through its pages again and again.

But that's just the outside of the book. The real treat is the juicy content on the inside! This book is part encyclopedia, part history book, part science book, and part "bet-you-didn't-know-that" random fact book. The clever editors apparently recorded every WHY question known to child-dom, then answered them all, Time-for-Kids-style.

Wanna know where the solar system ends? Why the ocean has waves? Why diamonds are rare? Why your nose runs? Why in the world you pass gas, and why (ugh!) it SMELLS? Better yet, wanna know WHY you wanna know things?

This visually attractive book is the gift that keeps on giving, offering page after page after fascinating page of incredible facts, and eye-popping pictures to back them up.

For 1,001 answers to the 1,001 questions all kids want to ask--and expect YOU to answer, be sure to pick up Time for Kids BIG Book of Why.

You won't be sorry...but of course you'll have to read the book to find out WHY.
