Read a page when they visit. Ask what they discovered on your next call. Make a little space for the questions only they would think to ask.
The book is the gift. The time together is the good part.
Big world. Little explorer.
From a dinosaur on the cover to a rocket headed for the stars, there’s plenty to catch their eye. Start with what makes them curious and see where the conversation goes.
A few grown-up questions
Here’s what to know before choosing your copy.
It’s an illustrated question-and-answer encyclopedia. You can dip into a question that interests your child instead of following a story from beginning to end.
10000 Whys is the book’s title. This hardcover edition contains 174 questions across 6 chapters.
That depends on their reading level. Younger children will need a grown-up to read with them. More confident readers can explore independently and ask for help when they need it.
Start small. Let them choose a picture, then explore just one question together. Keep it relaxed. This gives you another way to invite them into reading, without making it a task.
If they love asking questions, it gives you something to enjoy together. Read a page when they visit, or ask what they discovered on your next call. It’s a gift with plenty to talk about.
Absolutely. Pick one question at bedtime or browse together on a quiet afternoon. There’s no need to finish a chapter in one sitting.
