Review of How Come? Every Kid's Science Questions Explained (Paperback)

I love science and read a lot of adult science books.My son, 7, is really into science too - so we run through a lot of kid's science books.I've never encountered a better one than this one."How Come?" never condescends and it never cuts corners in its explanations.It focuses in with razor sharpness on the questions and issues kids (and childlike minds) have and then answers them with clear and rational explanations that really inform and educate.I find myself reading this book and learning things - even on topics I'd covered many times before.I'd say that the age this book is pitched for is 8-14, but even smaller kids get something out of it - and few adults can resist it either.

"Taken from Kathy Wollard's popular column, "How Come?" (seen for the past six years in Newsday and recently syndicated nationally through the Los Angeles Times), How Come? explains why cats can survive high falls (because of the way their bodies can act like a "parachute") and how black holes absorb light (intense gravity-if the Earth had the same density as a black hole, it would have to be compressed to the size of a marble!).Now you can know it all. Selection of the Book-of-the-Month Club. Suitable for ages 9-12. 204,000 copies in print.Illustrations by Debra Solomon.
