   | Full Text Reviews: Booklist - 05/01/2016 Exactly how are cars painted? And how do octopuses squirt ink? Esbaum has the answers (or, at least, the simple versions of the answers) to these and 52 other questions. This combines straightforward information; large, full-color photographs (check out the close-up of a cold germ!); and bright, eye-catching text bubbles and sidebars; and the end result is an attractive book that many young researchers will want to revisit. Questions are divided between six sections—Around the Home, Coming and Going, My Body, The Animal Kingdom, The Great Outdoors, and Food—and each section has its own try-it-at-home activity and quick game. Back matter includes tips to help parents extend lessons, a small glossary, a list of additional resources, and an index. Although some answers may be a bit too simple, resulting in follow-up questions, the format is visually appealing, and the text has enough interesting facts to surprise anyone.
