"Why? is a series of questions about animals. For example, "Why do kangaroos have pouches?" "Why do rhinos have horns on their noses?" and "Why are zebras striped?" Along with the "serious" answer (as indicated by the asterisk), there are a few "silly" ones too. "Why do elephants have trunks? To trumpet their goodbyes."
We took the book into a first-grade classroom and read it aloud. It was, as predicted, wildly popular. Highly recommended." - Education Oasis

"A 'Did you know' look at the animal kingdom--albeit one kicked up several notches by pleasingly corny jokes and elegantly naïf visual stylings. [Prap's] reliance on simple, bold shapes and strong black outlines will remind children of their own artwork, while her mottled textures, reminiscent of woodblock printing, add a dash of roughhewn sophistication." - Publishers Weekly

"Why? exhibits clarity and humor that reflect well on the translator’s ability to convey the essence of Prap’s work." - Foreword magazine

"A few silly answers give parent and child the chance to laugh together before the real because answer; and she throws in extra fun factoids. Prap's chunky, texturized style will have parents scrambling to find prints by the artist with which to redecorate playroom walls." - Curled Up Kids

"The perfect animal book for curious children." - For Immediate Release Reviews

"...a book full of questions about animals to satisfy even the most curious of children." - Lori Calabrese Writes!
