Do the Doors Open by Magic? and other supermarket questions
Scot Ritchie
Why is Soap So Slippery? and other bathtime questions
Scot Ritchie
Why is the Sky Blue? and other outdoor questions
Scot Ritchie
This is a brilliant formula – Ripley asks exactly the right questions and answers them in a way which is satisfyingly full enough to prevent too many follow-up ‘why’ questions wthout confusing us all with too much detail. The balance between the amount of information given and the accessible language is particularly clever and will make these books an immediate asset to any school or family library. Ritchie’s illustrations give support but also plenty of detail.
