Your child asks why forty times a day, and you run out of answers.

Now there is a book that answers back. Professor Poppy's fully illustrated encyclopedia gives the biggest kid questions an answer each, explained simply, honestly, and with a picture that does half the explaining.

Try a few real ones right now:

• Why is the sky blue? On the Moon there is no air to scatter light, so the daytime sky is black!
• Why did the dinosaurs die out? Every pigeon you see is a living dinosaur!
• Why do astronauts float in space? At the space station, gravity is still about 90 percent as strong as on the ground!

One simple plan. Every page works the same way, so a child always knows where to look.

• A picture that explains. Numbers 1, 2, 3 in each drawing match the three steps.
• Three reading levels. A short answer for age 7, steps for 9 and 10, a WOW fact and bonus box for 11 to 13.
• Facts checked against real sources. Myths get busted, not repeated.
• Built to keep going. Quizzes, a word wall, a try-it lab log and free bonuses.
• Black-and-white ink drawings. Bold, funny and crisp on every page.

For the grown-ups. A reading win without a fight, and answers you can trust. Grandparents get an easy way in with a child who says "nothing."

Ready to end the endless "why?" Add it to your cart today and turn bedtime, road trips and rainy afternoons into the best part of the day.

A brilliant gift for birthdays, holidays, classrooms, road trips and any curious 7 to 13 year old who never stops asking why.
