A Superb Resource for Kids and More

This book is awesome. It is full of very interesting information about why things around us are the way they are. It has a section on the human body, one on animals, one on the earth itself, among others.It is written with humor and wit. I learn (and laugh) a lot as I read to my child. It is so useful for him, too, satisfying his ingenious curiosity that is so precious of children. This is the BEST children's book I have come across so far and very highly recommend it.

Love it

My girls love this book. They got so excited about the facts the learned in this book. I even learned so new things. Fun for the entire family. We love it

A charming and fascinating book!

I LOVED this book. It's not just for kids -- though I'm sure they'll enjoy it, as much as I did. The author's choice of subject matter is excellent, and she explores each subject at just the right depth. Her breezy and humorous writing style is a joy to read.And it's educational, too! Although I have an advanced science degree, and have been a lifelong reader in various sciences, I found myself learning something new in each essay.I strongly recommend "How Come? Planet Earth" to curious minds of any age.

What a GREAT book!

...I bought How Come? Planet Earth for my Kids and I read an article every morning with my cereal. I love the kooky cartoons and the articles make me look like a genius to my kids! It will always come in handy to know that flys taste with their feet and humming birds have the most powerful muscles in the animal kingdom...MY ENTIRE FAMILY LOVES THIS BOOK!

Another home run from How Come!

I bought and loved the first How Come? book a few years ago (and then I bought copies for all my friends so they'd stop "borrowing" mine). So it was like Christmas morning when I discovered that there was a new How Come? book out.This one is just as good as the first -- which means that it is fabulous. Each question is answered in a fascinating essay that explains, in easy to understand language, how our world actually works, from quicksand to why things itch. And each answer comes with a hilarious drawing. The publisher classifies this as a "young person's" book, but I have yet to meet an adult who could read one of these essays without wanting a copy of this book for themselves.
