Ideal Reader
A curious 5 to 7-year-old who has begun asking big 'why' questions about the natural world. This child enjoys facts and straightforward explanations. It is also an excellent choice for a child who is developing a slight fear of the dark, as it provides a logical, non-scary reason for this daily event.
Parent Prep

The parent is looking for a simple, scientifically accurate way to answer and to shift the child's focus from the unknown to the fascinating.
