Curiosity is a habit, and habits start early. This is the book that answers what they already ask - and makes them want to ask more.
That's how confident we are. If it doesn't land, send it back.
10,000 Whys is a children's science book packed with fascinating questions and answers across science, nature, space, history and more.
This book is designed for primary school students ages 6-12. The content is written in an accessible way for early readers, while the depth of information keeps older children engaged.
Your child will develop scientific thinking and problem-solving skills while exploring topics across science, nature, space, animals, and everyday phenomena.
Over 174 pages of high-quality, full-colour illustrated content spanning hundreds of topics across six subject areas.
The illustrations are the real hook - they're vibrant, detailed, and genuinely fun to look at. Most kids pick it up out of curiosity and keep flipping pages.
Unlike typical children's books, this encyclopedia is built around the questions kids actually ask - and answers them in a way they want to keep reading.
A shoulder bag your cat will try to get into. The Meltique™ Peek-a-Boo Canvas Pet Tote looks like an everyday canvas tote until a small face appears at the padded front window. Inside there is a lined floor, a safety clip for the harness, and enough room for a short trip to the vet, the café or the neighbours.
Who it's for
The friend whose cat follows them room to room, the new kitten household, and anyone who finds a hard plastic crate a bit joyless.
They can see you the whole way
The bunny-eared front window lets a small pet watch the world — and watch you — instead of travelling in the dark.
An internal safety clip
A webbing lead inside hooks onto a harness, so nobody makes a break for it at the vet's door.
Sturdy canvas, soft shoulder
Thick woven canvas keeps its shape under weight while the wide straps sit flat on your shoulder.
Folds away between trips
No frame, no rattling door — it flattens onto a hook by the front door and rinses off when it needs to.
Kids ask about a hundred questions a day. This is the book that answers them — clearly, visually, and in a way that makes them want to ask the next one.
Planets, rockets, stars — and what's out past them.
Why you hiccup, what makes you dream, how you grow.
What lives down in the dark, and why the sea is salty.
How animals see, hunt, survive and build.
Volcanoes, weather, mountains and what's under our feet.
How the everyday things around them actually work.
No app, no battery, no login. It works in the car and in a power cut.
At six they're in it for the pictures. At ten they're reading the answers and arguing with you.
The questions come to you next. That's the point — it's a book you end up reading together.
It rewards curiosity instead of ending it, so they keep asking.
Six to twelve is the sweet spot. Younger children happily work through the illustrations with a grown-up; older ones read it alone and then quiz you about it.
How to think about a question, not just the answer to it. Each entry explains the why behind everyday things — light, weather, animals, the body, machines — in plain language with illustrations that carry the explanation.
It's built to be browsed, not read cover to cover. Big illustrations, short entries and a question on almost every page, so it survives being picked up for five minutes at a time.
Most answer what things are. This one answers why they are — which is the question children actually ask.
Yes. Younger ones use it as a picture book with a grown-up reading; older ones read independently. It's one of the few gifts that works across a age range.
A complete hardcover edition, made to be handled, carried around and dropped at least once.
