Category Description for Good Question! Science Series

As a homeschool mom with younger children, it never failed that questions were asked for which I did not have a ready answer. My usual response to their query was, "Good Question! Let's look it up together." I love how this series feeds inquisitive young minds by asking and answering the questions they are already asking as well as sprinkling in other related questions with answers.

Each two page spread includes the question(s) and answer along with a brightly colored illustration. Pages are colorful and answers are clearly explained. Included in the back of each book is a Find out More resource book and website list along with topical index for quick answers. Perfect complement to your science curriculum or nature/unit studies. May have evolutionary content. 32 pgs. SC. ~ Deanne
