I Wonder Why
Description
This book poses and answers thirty-one questions about mountains, such as can snow move mountains, how high do birds nest, and why do climbers wear spikes?
Quick Summary
This colorful Q&A adventure takes young readers on a vertical journey up the world's most mysterious peaks, answering questions they actually want to ask but might never voice aloud. Kids will love discovering weird facts like whether birds actually live on Everest, why climbers need spike shoes, and if snow itself can reshape mountains over time. If your kid devours the National Geographic Little Kids First Big Book series, they'll snack on this mountain mystery just as hungrily. Perfect for ages 5-8 or kindergarten through third grade.
