Encyclopedia for the Curious. Where, What, and When?

The world around us is constantly and very rapidly changing.
And it is only natural that the questions asked by curious young minds are becoming increasingly complex and diverse.

What is evolution? Why do mountains have sharp peaks? How do seas differ from oceans? What are "black smokers"? Which fish is the largest? Who was Lucy? Why are cacti prickly? Why do mosquitoes whine? What is a snowboard?

This encyclopedia will answer these and many other children's questions that often leave adults stumped. The lively language used to present the material, accessible to children, combined with a vast number of fun illustrations, will make reading both educational and engaging.
