Review :
Top-notch nonfiction from a profoundly accomplished author, it’s the sort of book that could ignite lifelong scientific curiosity. Full of insightful facts and curious conundrums, this is the perfect present for any inquisitive child. Queries such as "Can you touch a rainbow?", "How do planes fly?" and more are answered in witty, informative ways. I'd advise reading it yourself so you can act smug when the answers finally come! Super-smart, witty and full of wide-eyed wonder. Every page is a delight. Be prepared to have your mind boggled! This is a delightful book to read with a child. Isabel's clear and succinct answers, combined with the gorgeous illustrations make this a perfect addition to our regular bedtime reading. With a toddler who asks me why, dozens of times a day, I'm relieved to have found the perfect book to satisfy her curiosity! The range of topics and breadth of science covered is breathtaking, and the illustrations bring a beautiful warmth. Forget my child, I'm learning loads too. Certain to appeal to the always and the sometimes curious, this is a book you’ll want to return to again and again. Isabel Thomas offers snappy, perfectly pitched scientific answers, while illustrator Aaron Cushley gives an energetic and fun feel to the lot. This is a go-to bedside read for when the most outlandish of questions pops into your head keeping you up at night. Or if you simply want to reignite that wonderful sense of childlike curiosity and innocence.
