This book was reviewed for us by our site contributor Jenny and her son David. Thanks to both of them!
Do your kids ever ask you WHY? Of course they do and if your kids are anything like my five year old son they probably ask you “why” thousands of times a day. That is why Time for Kids Magazine created a great new book. The book is titled Time for Kids Big Book of Why–1,001 Facts Kids Want to Know.
My son David was very excited to finally be able to get the answers to so many of his questions. Now instead of asking me a question that I have no answer for, David can refer to the book and get the correct answer to his question. Here are a few samples of some of the questions answered in this book. Why do dogs turn around before lying down? Why do monkeys and apes prefer bananas over other food? Why can’t penguins fly?
There are several chapters in this book. Everything is covered from animals to space to history and people just to name a few. This is another book that I can see David using as a great reference as he continues into his elementary school years.
One negative that I took from this book is that it did not hold David’s attention as much as the “That’s Awesome” book. For one thing, there were far less pictures and illustrations to help convey an idea which caused David to become disinterested. Also, I think that the information contained in the Big Book of Why may be a little too in depth for a younger reader causing them to become disinterested with what they are reading. I think that the Big Book of Why might be better suited for kids who are a bit older than my son David. (MC Note: Amazon describes this book’s reading level as 9-12 years old- so Jenny’s observations are right on!)
This book is 192 pages long.
