How Space Works: Answers to Space Why Questions for Curious Kids Ages 6–10, from Your Backyard to Black Holes (Whynarium) - Softcover
Book 2 of 3: Whynarium
Synopsis
Why is sunset orange? How do astronauts go to the bathroom? What would happen if you fell into a black hole? How can a rocket booster land by itself?
Curious kids ask why about everything in the sky. How Space Works answers about 150 of those questions in the order one real night brings them. Juno and Peek the chameleon spend a whole night at Grandpa's house by the water, from the first orange sunset and the first look through Juno's new telescope to a rocket launch across the water at dawn.
Space is too far to visit tonight, but you can always see it from somewhere else. So every part of the night stands in a different place: the sunset from above the air, the planets from up close, astronaut life from on board the space station, the stars from the side, a shooting star from a speck of dust, the biggest questions from far, far away, Earth from the Moon, and liftoff from the rocket. Eight places to stand, and one question to carry outside: what would it look like from over there?
- Predict first. Each part of the night opens on the real sky at a real time, with a countdown to liftoff, the child's own questions, and Peek hiding somewhere in the picture.
- Turn the page for Peek's-eye view. A chameleon can point each eye a different way, so Peek keeps one eye with Juno and sends the other over there, with a short answer to every question.
- Trace it. Deep-dive pages turn each answer into a numbered route, a cutaway or a zoom to follow with a finger.
- Look up. Myths put to the test, gross-but-true facts, questions scientists are still working on, a safe try-it activity for every part of the night, like a sunset in a bottle or Moon craters in a tray of flour, and one thing to find in the real sky tonight.
Plenty for kids who love astronauts and rockets: how astronauts eat, sleep and go to the bathroom, how the space station stays up, the first Moon landing (Grandpa watched it when he was ten), and every stage of a launch, from the water spray under the rocket to the booster landing itself.
Made for ages 6 to 10: one part of the night is a bedtime read to share with a 6- or 7-year-old, and 8- to 10-year-olds can read it alone. Short answers, clear labels, full color throughout (every word sits on a light panel, even on the night pages), and a Question Finder, Word Finder and answers page at the back. The science is simplified but never untrue, and the Sun rule comes first: never look at the Sun.
The last pages hand the sky back to your child, with eight things to find on their own clear nights, one for each place to stand. A gift to go with a first telescope or binoculars, and just as good without one, because most of the sights need only your eyes. Part of the Whynarium, a place for asking why.
