The Big Book of Wonders

Why is the sky blue? Why do we sneeze? How do fish breathe? A hundred and ten questions children actually ask, each answered in a page or two, each with a picture drawn in the same friendly hand.

The stories are grouped into twelve chapters — the sky, the sun, animals, our bodies, water, machines — and every one of them ends with a small wonder-fact worth repeating at breakfast.

It comes in two volumes, printed in five languages, so a family reading in two of them can have the same book twice.
