The first whys deserve true answers. 80 real questions little kids ask, each answered in words a three-year-old understands, with one big picture that shows the answer and a ten-second thing to try together.
Here are three of the 80 pages. Every answer is checked against sources like KidsHealth, the Library of Congress and NASA, then rewritten until a preschooler can say it back to you.

Fun fact: Kids your age need about 10 to 13 hours of sleep a day, about half of the whole day.

Fun fact: A purr wiggles about 25 to 150 times every second, faster than you can clap.

words or fewer per answer, in a three-year-old’s vocabulary. No “chemicals”, no “molecules”, no “energy”. Tiny, warm, wiggle, push and pull.
