Do Cats Really Have 9 Lives?

By Jack Myers

Book Overview

How do fish breathe? Can bulls really see red? Did unicorns really exist? Why do wolves howl at the moon? Can you get to China by digging a hole? Here in paperback are four outstanding books that will whet the appetite of any child who is curious about the world and how it works. Dr. Myers answers questions in a warm, informative manner that helps young readers understand the complexity of science. Boys and girls discover that science needn't be dull and dry--it can be fun and exciting. What makes these books even more special is that they feature questions and answers that have been collected from a quarter century of Highlights for Children. These are real questions from real kids.

I Didn`t Know That?

Have you ever been asked a question by a kid, to which you did not know the answer, or weren`t sure how to answer? Anyone who has or works with children will answer, "Yes!" This is an excellent place to find those answers, plus a few more for those questions they have not asked... yet. I even learned a thing or two: like why wheels appear to be rotating backwards, when the vehicle is going forwards. There are colorful illustrations and easy to understand but not over-simplified answers, as well as a helpful index at the end.
