About this title

About the Author

If there is such a thing as an expert on kids' questions, it would be Catherine Ripley. As a former editor of the award-winning Chickadee magazine for young children, Catherine began collecting questions submitted by curious readers. She continued through visits to various schools and libraries, turning her talent for making science fun to all the great questions kids could come up with. Catherine is also the author of Two Dozen Dinosaurs (Owl Books).

From School Library Journal

PreSchool-Grade 1?A curious little boy's 12 bathroom questions, such as "How can hot and cold water run out of the same tap?," "Why do I have to brush my teeth?," and "Where does it go when I flush?," are answered simply in this elementary-level nonfiction title. Full- and double-page cartoons exaggerate points made in the text in order to make them clear to children. Included on the last page are four more bits of bath trivia. An appealing addition that could be used in classrooms for units on water or health.?Sandra Welzenbach, Memorial High School, San Antonio, TX
