Philip Steele has written books on history, geography, and cultural and social themes and is the author of many books for Kingfisher, including Navigators: Knights & Castles.
Each book in the I Wonder Why . . . series offers an eclectic overview of its subject based largely on examples rather than narrative. Using a question-and-answer format, these charming books encourage readers to meander through all sorts of fascinating tidbits about people and places, piracy, deserts, and inventions. I Wonder Why Countries Fly Flags focuses on geographical issues such as countries’ and cities’ locations; distinctive features, such as mountains or canals; language; and culture, including traditional food, clothing, and sports. No matter what the subject, the variety of illustrations, both serious and cartoonish, helps keep the books’ pages lively and colorful. Grades K-3. --Miriam Aronin
