Wonder Why: An Enchanting Picture Book in Verse About Nature for Curious Kids (Ages 4-8) - Hardcover
Synopsis
Giant sky, brightest blue,
like an artist painted you.
How I wonder, wonder why,
why are you so blue, big sky?
Enchanting and educational! This picture book takes the young reader through the arc of the day and answers “Why?” in beautiful verse that begs to be read aloud. Pitch-perfect rhyming text from author Lisa Varchol Perron and stunning illustrations from rising-star Nik Henderson combine in an incredible picture book for children to treasure.
Have you ever wondered why the sky is blue or why thunder crackles in the night? Wonder Why takes the curious young reader through the arc of a day--from blue skies to rain and thunder, a rainbow, and finally nighttime. Each stanza poses a “wonder why” question that is answered simply and accurately in a beautiful verse. The story begs for reading aloud and repeated readings. Young readers will be encouraged to be curious about the natural world around them…and to ask “Why." Back matter gives additional information on the elements.
