From the Back Cover
THE WHYS OF THE WORLD
Know the answers: about quicksand and chameleons, butterfly wings and the bounce inside a rubber ball. A direct follow-up to the bestselling How Come?, HOW COME? PLANET EARTH explains 125 mysteries about the world we think we know best. Here are questions about Earth--how volcanoes erupt and why oceans don't overflow. Questions about animals, from camels' humps to a cat's purr. Questions about people--sleepwalking, warts, and why bruises are black and blue--and a section called "Factory Field Trip," on how we make things from mummies to chewing gum to microwave ovens.
A NOTE TO PARENTS: No one remembers all those science facts, but HOW COME? PLANET EARTH and the original How Come? help with even the trickiest science questions. So the next time your child asks why stomachs growl or how a jet airplane works, here are the answers.
