A Way to Respond to “Why?”

Why Do Kittens Purr?Few people are as persistently inquisitive as preschoolers, with their love for repeated questions that start with the word “why?” So my book Why Do Kittens Purr? takes an imaginative approach to addressing just this kind of natural curiosity.In their review of the title, Booklist said: “Bauer and Cole explore the mysteries of the universe in this deeply satisfying picture book that stars an inquisitive boy and his floppy stuffed monkey. . . . This simple, lovely bedtime book will help preschoolers think about the language of animals and the world around them, but more important, it communicates that all is right with the world.”
