My First Big Encyclopedia of Why (Toddlers)
The first big encyclopedia made just for the smallest readers.
Why does the moon change shape? Why do dogs wag their tails? Why do we yawn at bedtime?
Toddlers ask “why?” hundreds of times a day. Most of those questions deserve a real answer.
100000 Whys Book for Toddlers is the first big encyclopedia of why written for children ages 1–4, and the parents and grandparents who read aloud to them.
Inside this beautifully illustrated full-colour book, you’ll find 500 real questions and 500 honest answers, organised into 10 cheerful chapters covering the whole everyday world your little one is busy noticing.
What’s inside:
Animals at home and on the farm
Big wild animals from lions to whales
Tiny creatures everywhere, from bees and butterflies to ants and frogs
My wonderful body, including sneezes, hiccups, tears and teeth
Yummy food and drinks, including why bread rises and why popcorn pops
The sky, sun, moon and stars
Plants, trees and the outside world
Things that go: cars, planes, rockets and boats
All around my house: taps, toilets, toasters and clocks
Sleep, dreams and goodnight
Why parents love it:

About this book
The full description from the publisher is above, next to the cover — every word of it is theirs, not ours. What earns a book a place on the WhyShelf is simple: real questions kids actually ask, answered accurately, in language they can read.
Why kids love question books
Question-and-answer books meet kids exactly where they are: mid-question. Short entries reward short attention spans, and finishing one answer is what makes them turn to the next — reading practice that doesn't feel like practice.
Who it's best for
The recommended age range is in the product title above. Younger children enjoy these as read-alouds; confident readers explore solo.
The gift that gets read
A birthday or holiday gift that's still being opened a month later — free shipping and the 30-Night Nightstand Guarantee included.
