The "Kids' Book of Why" series is popular because it answers children's natural curiosity in an engaging and accessible way. It covers a wide range of topics with simple explanations, fun facts, and colorful illustrations that make learning enjoyable. It encourages kids to ask questions, think critically, and develop a love for learning.

Very informative. Glad I bought it for my grandkids. They will learn a lot of things in every way. So am I. Thanks to National Geographic for creating this.

This book is just perfect for those curious young minds. It answers several "Why" questions on page and has just the right amount on content to keep their attention. I had originally bought one for my son a few years ago and I still see him reading this book in his room years after having it. I now buy this for my friends' children who are around 7-8 years old so they can keep it for a good few years. The pages have held up and in great condition!

Good book lots of cool facts

Very nice

Some parents have the goal of instilling a blueprint of their values into their children. This undermines critical thinking because the child is expected to merely regurgitate the narrative, i.e. neither thinking nor questions are required/allowed. How does this develop critical thinking? It doesn’t, in fact it’s in direct opposition to developing this skill at all. As a staunch advocate of free thinking, I think it’s the most important skill a child can be taught because no person escapes navigating the numerous lies (that lead to suffering and failure) everyone encounters throughout their life. “Why” and “Why Not” (I purchased both) are excellent books/tools for nurturing free thinking in children because critical thinking is the prerequisite. Whenever they receive instructions that don’t make sense, i.e. “You ‘can’t’ do that” (when they mean you don’t have permission), they become equipped to question “authority” for justification of said instructions by simply asking why. Whenever they encounter somebody who is merely slamming a well thought out opinion of theirs, they can turn the whole thing around by simply asking “Why Not?” This also develops humility and confidence with all persons involved (assuming they consider fairly). In short, “Why” and “Why Not” are the two most important books in the Children’s Library I’ve created. Lots of pictures, large type and, most important, a fast-track to keeping children from being neither a push-over nor wet-noodle. A huge benefit for the price of two books. Now that’s what I call an excellent deal. BTW: I came across these books the day after my Grandson (4 years old) was asking “Why?” like no tomorrow. I give complete, well thought out and simple answers. So after a couple dozen of these why questions, I was getting tired and thought I’d give him a dose of his own medicine to quell this obsession. So I rapid fired about a dozen questions. He’s not talking/answering the questions, but I notice he’s thinking about the questions. When I stopped, he grinned from ear to ear and said “That was fun! Let play the why game some more.” Realizing my intention backfired, I thought “My God, what have I done?” When I came across the books for the first time the next day I thought “God noticed and took pity on me.” LOL

It has so much information in it and Troves of treasure for young minds

One of the best books for children who keep asking alot of questions about everything. It brainstorms the child curiosity. My daughter got this book as a gift from her grandmother and she is completely into it in her free time.

My 9 year old son found this book to be very interesting and full of wonderful facts. He loved it

Awesome book! Used to explain global questions about the world. My 5 yo loves it already
