Highlights Book of Science Questions That Children Ask

Why do you burp? Why don't marbles bounce? For over 30 years, children have been asking Highlights science editor Jack Myers questions about everything under, about and beyond the sun. Along with Myers's good-humored, easy-to-understand answers and boisterous, cartoonish illustrations from a variety of illustrators, these queries have been gathered together in Highlights Book of Science Questions That Children Ask (Boyds Mills, $10.95, ages 6-10 ISBN 1-56397-478-9 Sept.).
