Kathleen Garber's Reviews > Why Does My Shadow Follow Me? More Science Questions from Real Kids

This is the second book in the series. I reviewed Why Don’t Cars Run on Apple Juice too.

It is made the same way, with different sections. This book has the following sections: Cute Critters and Up-ROAR-ious Creatures, The World Inside Us, This Planet We Call Home, Tremendous Tech and Inspiring Innovations and Our Out-of-This-World Universe.

Each question takes up one page and is accompanied by a fun illustration by Suharu Ogawa.

Some of the fun questions are:

Why do bees sting?
Why do we have butts?
Why are flowers different colors?
Can stem cells bring back the dead?
When will the Sun explode?

It’s a fun science book designed for ages 7-11. I read it with my 7 year old and it was interesting but needed additional explanation on some of the more complicated questions. I’d say an average 9 year old could read it themselves.

I received a copy in exchange for an honest review
