I Wonder Why The Wind Blows

by Anita Ganeri

Published 15 September 1994
This highly popular and long-running series has been revamped for a new generation of readers, with a clean, crisp redesign and colourful covers. The series explores questions that young readers ask about the world around them in an unrivalled child-friendly style. The conversational format is perfect for delivering solid information in a natural, amusing and imaginative way. Taking as its starting point a child's desire to understand the world, this illustrated book focuses on our planet, asking questions such as: why does the wind blow?, how big was the largest snowman ever built?, and why do animals sometimes fall out of the sky?

Addresses such questions about animals as why camels have humps, how bats see in the dark, and why birds have feathers.
