This book is for children who have reached the age of asking "why?" They ask questions about everything under the sun, and satisfying a child's curiosity is no easy task. In this brightly illustrated book, children will find answers to many questions: how hurricanes form, who came up with the riddle of the longest river, where the underground city is located, and, finally, they can simply relax and laugh along with the author and illustrator. Fun, colorful illustrations, concise text, and simple, clear language will make reading this book an exciting activity. For middle-school-aged children.
