100,000 Whys Book - The Ultimate Encyclopedia for Curious Kids

Why does my stomach growl? Why is the sky blue? Why do dogs sniff each other's butts? And why do volcanoes erupt - really?

Kids ask thousands of questions a year. Most adults can't answer half of them. This book can.

100,000 Whys: The Ultimate Encyclopedia for Curious Kids is a massive, thoughtfully written reference book packed with nearly 1,000 fascinating questions and answers - the kind kids actually ask, written in language smart enough for a 12-year-old and clear enough for a 6-year-old.

Inside this 300+ page encyclopedia:

• Your Amazing Body - Why do I get goosebumps? Why does my stomach growl? Why are some people left-handed?
• The Animal Kingdom - Why do cats purr? Why do octopuses have three hearts? Why do bees die after they sting?
• Dinosaurs & Other Prehistoric Giants - How do we know what dinosaurs looked like? Why did T. rex have such tiny arms?
• Space & The Universe - Why is space black? What is a black hole? Could humans live on Mars?
• Planet Earth - Why do volcanoes erupt? Why is the ocean salty? What is the deepest place on Earth?
• Weather & The Sky - Why is lightning dangerous? Why is fog dangerous? What's a hurricane really?
• How Stuff Works - How does a microwave actually work? How does Wi-Fi reach your phone? How does a battery work?
• Computers, Robots & The Future - What is artificial intelligence? Will robots take over? What's a quantum computer?
• Food, History, People & Society, The Mind, Mind-Bogglers, Sports & Play - and so much more.

Every entry includes a "Did You Know?" surprise fact - the kind of weird, wonderful nugget kids love to repeat at the dinner table.

Why kids (and parents) love this book:

• Questions across 15 categories - far more than what is covered in other books
• Warm, curious voice - never talks down to kids
• Real science, real facts - not just trivia
• Read in any order - perfect for short attention spans or long car rides
• Glossary of fun words - borborygmus, photosynthesis, capsaicin, and more
• Sturdy reference book kids will return to for years

The perfect gift for the curious kid in your life - birthdays, holidays, end of school year, "just because." If you've ever heard a kid ask "why?" and wished you had a better answer than "I don't know" - this is the book.

Recommended for ages 6 to 12. Loved by teachers, librarians, parents, grandparents, and any adult who still remembers what it feels like to wonder.
