Synopsis
<div><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. <br><br><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.<br><br><i>When it rains, does running (rather than walking) to the nearest shelter really keep you any drier?</i><br><br><i> How can a stone skip across a pond (instead of sink)?</i><br><br><i> If the Earth is spinning, why can’t we feel it? Why don’t we fly off?</i><br><br><i> Why do elephants have trunks?</i><br><br> 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.)<br><br> 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></div>
