Synopsis

Asking questions may seem like it comes naturally, but it's actually a learned social skill. How do questions and answers work? What makes a good question--and what makes a rude one? Who cares about questions?

This helpful how-to guide teaches kids what a question is, when to ask one, and how to form one. Friendly tips and pointers ("Keep it short!" "Show interest!") help kids keep their questions appropriate and on point. Above all, the book encourages readers to keep on asking questions--the beginning of learning about the world.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

April Pulley Sayre has done enough school visits to know that question formation can be tricky for kids. Faced with a "hilarious cascade of non-questions, sort-of-questions, and what-was-that questions" from her young audiences, she realized that a book was in order. April is the award-winning author of more than 65 nonfiction books for children and adults, including Trout Are Made of Trees; Thank You, Earth; Best in Snow; The Slowest Book Ever ; and the Geisel Honor book Vulture View. Each year she speaks to more than 15,000 students--who ask her lots and lots of questions.

Leeza Hernandez is the illustrator of several books for children, including Eat Your Math Homework, Eat Your Science Homework, Eat Your U.S. History Homework, and Never Play Music Right Next to the Zoo. She is also the author and illustrator of Dog Gone! and Cat Napped! www.leezaworks.com

Why ask questions?

Questions are powerful. They help you get information. 

"What is the gerbil's name? What does he eat? Can I feed him?" 

"Is this my desk?"

"Why are our desks in a circle?"

"Are you the new teacher?"

"Where is my shoe?" 

"Where is the bathroom?" 

"What are you doing?" 

"Who dropped this wrench?"

Questions may start with needs. 

"How long do we have for lunch?"

"Do I have to stand in line?" 

"Where are the trays?" 

"May I have extra carrots?" 

"Is this a veggie burger?"
