(3) K-3 Younger brother Jack (Almost) has enough questions, from practical ("Why do they put these holes in the crackers?") to personal ("Why can’t I play with you?"), to fill this book, which concludes with Jack's mother's goodnight kiss and the answer "That's why." Torrey's loose-handed illustrations capture the emotional range of this sympathetic everychild.
