Why Worry?

"Why is the Sky blue?" "Why do cows Moo?" Kids can ask some pretty complicated questions and sometimes parents need a little help answering. Look no further than Catherine Ripley's "Why? : The Best Ever Question and Answer Book About Nature, Science and the World Around you." This 192 page guide to fully utilizing those teachable moments your little one throws your way is organized by the times they're likely to ask. Chapters like "Nighttime" answer questions like," Where does the moon go during the day?" and "Why do I need sleep?" Make the most out of every question by showing your child a new way to understand the world whether it's outdoors or bath time. The Neilson Hays Library has this resource and many more to guide you and your child through the journey of learning. Multiple copies are available but don't wait too long!
