Why?

A parent should reach for this book when their child's constant 'Why?' questions feel both endless and wonderful. 'Why?' by Adam Rex leans into this phase with spectacular humor and creativity. The story follows the supervillain Doctor X-Ray, whose evil plans are derailed by a child who simply won't stop asking 'Why?'. The villain's increasingly exasperated answers create a bizarre, hilarious, and surprisingly profound chain of events involving a sad giant, a well-dressed bear, and the true nature of good and evil. For ages 6 to 9, this book is a fantastic way to celebrate curiosity, validate a child's inquisitive nature, and show that questions can lead to the most amazing and unexpected places.
