<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br> For every kid who really wants to know, here is a stimulating, fact-filled, whimsically illustrated guide to the most frequently asked questions about our world, from "Why do stars twinkle?" to "What are hiccups?"--taken from Kathy Wollard's popular nationally-syndicated column, "How Come?" <p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br> <p>Fact-filled, fun-filled, as interesting to parents as it is to kids, the <i>How Come?</i> series is the trusted source for lively, clear answers to kids' science queries. Now the best questions and answers from all three books--<i>How Come?</i>; <i>How Come? Planet Earth</i>; and <i>How Come? In the Neighborhood</i>--have been revised, updated, freshly illustrated in full color, supplemented with twenty completely new questions, and combined into one bigger, better volume. <p/><i>How Come?</i> explains, in fascinating detail, more than 200 mysteries and phenomena in the world around us. These are the questions that pique kids' curiosity--and stump parents. <p/><i>When it rains, does running (rather than walking) to the nearest shelter really keep you any drier?</i> <p/><i> How can a stone skip across a pond (instead of sink)?</i> <p/><i> If the Earth is spinning, why can't we feel it? Why don't we fly off?</i> <p/><i> Why do elephants have trunks?</i> <p/> And the all-time classic, <i>Why is the sky blue?</i> (Sunlight has a hidden rainbow of colors, and air molecules scatter blues the most--sending bright blue light down to Earth.) <p/> The text is clearly written, engaging, and accessible. It's for every kid who wants to know--and every grown-up who simply doesn't know.</p> <p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br> Why Does Bright Sunlight Make You Sneeze? <BR>Sometimes, the most tantalizing mysteries are right in front of us. In 134 questions and answers, "How Come? In the Neighborhood" explains the conundrums of everyday life. Mysteries in the kitchen--why mold grows on bread, and why cow's milk is white. In the bathroom--where earwax comes from, and how we throw up (yuck!). Plus puzzlers at school, on vacation, and in the backyard. It used to be just your neighborhood; now it's your very own laboratory!
