Synopsis
How Come? For every kid who really wants to know, here is a stimulating, fact-filled, whimsically illustrated guide to the most frequently asked questions about our world, from "Why do stars twinkle?" to "What are hiccups?"--taken from Kathy Wollard's popular nationally-syndicated column, "How Come?"

From the Back Cover
NOW YOU CAN KNOW IT ALL
Firefly light and the aurora borealis. Time travel and tears. Blood types, boomerangs, and black widow spiders. Explanations and investigations. A fact-filled, fun-filled, whimsically illustrated compendium, HOW COME? answers over 100 of the questions asked most frequently about the world around us.
It explains what a mirage is (an image caused by air bending light). How a cat can survive a high fall (because of the way its body acts like a parachute). And why, when someone else yawns, you want to yawn too (in primitive times, yawns may have been a way to synchronize group behavior).
So go ahead, ask it your best question.
ATTENTION PARENTS:
Can you say why the sky is blue? Or explain how an X-Ray can take a picture of your child's bones? It's not easy to be knowledgeable in all walks of science, but here's lively help for when the questions start coming.
Synopsis
Answers questions about color and light, forces and particles, outer space, the solar system, the earth, weather, animals, and the human body.
