"When Oma arrives to stay with Jake, Lizzie, and their parents, they want to make her visit extra special - so off the family goes to Jake's birthday party, the library, the beach, and many other places! These familiar childhood excursions prompt many questions from Jake and Lizzie. How do candles stay on fire? How do librarians remember where all the books go? How does the sand get so hot? In the same style as the highly successful Why?, How? provides kid-friendly explanations for nearly one hundred everyday mysteries. Bright, playful illustrations from Scot Ritchie complement the clear text and set the scenes for the common questions that kids ask. How? combines the best qualities of non-fiction and picture books to delight young readers again and again."-- Provided by publisher.
