I Wonder Why series.
Simple texts in question-and-answer format present introductions to various time and season changes and the planet Earth. The facts are entirely random and light on real science ("Has Earth changed much?"), but they could stimulate curiosity about the topics. The many illustrations on busy pages include a combination of realistic-looking drawings and humorous cartoons. Ind. Review covers these I Wonder Why titles: I Wonder Why the Wind Blows and I Wonder Why the Sun Rises.
