From the publisher:
"[Adam] Rex delivers a storytime home run--hilarious, heartfelt, instructive, and interactive." -- Booklist, starred review
A sweet and appealing tale for anyone familiar with the universal tendency of young children to always ask WHY? When supervillain Doctor X-Ray swoops in threatening to vanquish an innocent crowd, the only one brave enough not to run away is a little girl, who asks him simply, "Why?" He is taken aback--but he answers. She keeps asking. And he keeps answering--until a surprising truth is uncovered, and the villain is thwarted.
- A laugh-out-loud take on the small-and-determined-beats-big-loud-bully story, simple questions lead to profound answers in a quest that proves the ultimate power of curiosity
- Monochromatic illustrations with pops of color fill the pages and bring a uniquely captivating element to the storyline
Fans of Nothing Rhymes with Orange, Love Is, and Grown-Ups Never Do That will also enjoy the relatable and heartwarming tale found in Why?
- Great family and classroom read-aloud book
- Books for kids ages 5-8
- Books for kindergarten students
