My 8 year old is always asking ‘why’, so this book felt like a perfect fit. We read a chapter together before bed, and the handshake one had us both laughing. I like that it explains the story behind each answer instead of just giving a quick fact. It’s sparked some really fun conversations.
Sound familiar?
-
“Why?” is their favourite word, and you've run out of answers.
-
The tablet comes out the minute they're bored.
-
They say reading is boring, unless it's about something gross.
-
You'd love ten calm minutes together that don't involve a screen.
WHY? turns their questions into a reading habit, one question at a time.

Quite a lot of text for my 6 year old. We read it together, which is fine, just wasn't what I had in mind when I ordered.

The bit about how dogs greet each other was apparently the funniest thing my son has ever read. He's shown everyone in the house.

My daughter just opens it wherever and asks me to read that page. Doesn't seem to matter what order you read it in.

Bought for my 7 year old who's always asking questions. Thought he'd love it but he's only looked at it a couple of times. I'll leave it on the shelf for now.
