This book has questions that I have thought of before, but never really went on to answer them. All of the answers to the questions (which are questions that people might ask everyday) are written in an interesting way that never drag on, and always keep on the readers on their toes.

Explanations and answers are clear, without a single misplaced word. Along with the funny pictures on each page, this book is very useful to have around.

Children are curious! This book is so helpful in answering the flood

of questions from your inquisitive children. It answers questions

you've always wondered about like why are bugs attracted to the porch

light at night? or which came first the chicken or the egg? The

drawings are great as well. My children, 6 and 8, were laughing out

loud!

My daughters are 9 and 4 and they love this book. This is a great way to learn about science, nature, everything! They are constantly asking me questions just like these in the book - I am so glad we have this! If you have children this is a must-have! I really enjoy the style of writing and the kids love the illustrations. Its easy to read and understand. I am also looking to purchase How Come? Planet Earth.

I love this down-to-earth addition to the How Come? series. Kathy Wollard answers my son's questions and corrects all my misconceptions. Like the very best cartoons, Debra Solomon's off-beat humorous illustrations will appeal to children and adults. Sure, I studied physics and biology, but who remembers all that stuff? My 9-year-old has lots of questions about the real world and now I have the answers. Buy it!!!

My children are 7 years old, with a lot of questions.

I read about this book in my local Sunday paper and thought it would be just perfect for them, I was very disappointed with it. As soon as we got it we started to read it and after the 1/2 way through the 1st page they were bored. I tried to skip around a read some other pages that might be of interest to them, but we were all bored. I thought it was going to be more of a question and answer book. Not long pages that ramble on. Maybe it would be good for older children like 10 - 13.

Excellent presentation by Kathy Wollard of some comonly asked questions by young scientists.
