Why Do Stars Twinkle? (Question & Answer Storybooks)

A colour picture book to help answer some of the questions children ask about very common experiences like bath time and shopping. It is one of four in a series of read aloud storybooks with non-fiction questions and answers. The books are aimed at pre-school, nursery and reception-class children and questions are phrased as a child would ask them. Some of the questions include: how can hot and cold water run out of the same tap? Animals do not have bath tubs, so how do they stay clean? Why do worms come out when it's wet? Where do apples come from in winter? Why do I yawn when I'm tired? And so on. Catherine Ripley, the author provides answers that should not only satisfy children's curiosity, but will do so without being condescending or overly complex. Scot Ritchie's illustrations are intended to add to the idea that learning can be fun.
