(4) K-3 I Wonder Why series. Simple texts in question-and-answer format present introductions to the ocean and baby animals. The facts are entirely random and light on real science ("Which Baby Has the Worst Mother?" "Which Animal Loves to Play?") 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 Sea Is Salty and I Wonder Why Kangaroos Have Pouches.
