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.
The weight of a real phone call, back in your hand. The Meltique™ Retro Phone Handset plugs into any 3.5 mm headphone jack and turns a flat slab of glass into the telephone you grew up with — curly cord, solid earpiece, and a voice that sounds like it is coming from somewhere, not from nowhere.
Who it's for
The friend who takes hour-long calls, the grandparent who hates tiny earbuds, the desk that deserves something with a bit of personality.
Comfortable for the long calls
A full-size earpiece rests against your ear instead of inside it, and your phone stays off your face for the whole conversation.
Easy for smaller and older hands
Nothing to pair, nothing to charge, nothing to lose down the side of a chair. Pick it up and talk.
Built-in mic and volume wheel
Speak into the mouthpiece as you would on a landline, and roll the volume up or down on the cord.
A conversation piece on any desk
Glossy ABS in a choice of colours, with a coiled cord that looks exactly the way you remember it.
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.
