The Bedtime Book of Impossible Questions

Product Information

Have you ever not been able to concentrate because there are SO many questions buzzing round your brain? The Bedtime Book of Impossible Questions will offer answers to the most bamboozling questions and curious queries that you can think of. However, I did not shy away from questions that are hard to explain. Everyone who knows children will know they don't shy away from difficult questions either. One moment they could be pondering the world's worst smell, or how long it would take to count to infinity, but the next they might stun you with something deeply philosophical. Why am I me and not someone else? Why can't I remember being a baby? Why don't we live forever? Why do I like my friends more than other people? My answers to all these questions are in the book.

Third, I have always worked, through outreach and through writing, to demolish myths about science and who belongs in science. One of the most common misconceptions is that to be a scientist, you need to know lots of facts or get the right answers all the time. Science is not about this at all. It's about asking questions. They can be sensible questions. They can be silly questions. But best of all they can be impossible questions. It's the quest to answer impossible questions that leads to creativity, discovery, and breakthroughs.Why, The Repair Shop, of course. Jay Blades and his merry men and women work their magic and Lizzy is made as new as ever as she is passed to the youngest member of the family. A story for young doll owners who will understand how important it was for Lizzie to be mended. The Winter Wish

The Bedtime Book of Impossible Questions by Isabel Thomas The Bedtime Book of Impossible Questions by Isabel Thomas

This book would suit a wide range of ages, from five-year-olds who ask a million questions a day themselves, to 11-year-olds who are curious and ready to absorb the information and facts. My daughter and I highly recommend The Bedtime Book of Impossible Questions! Isabel Thomas is an award-winning science writer and children’s author. She has written more than 180 science books about science and nature for young audiences. Isabel has been shortlisted for the Royal Society Young People’s Book Prize and the Blue Peter Book Awards and won the AAAS Subaru Prize for Excellence in Science Books 2020. With a toddler who asks me why, dozens of times a day, I'm relieved to have found the perfect book to satisfy her curiosity! The range of topics and breadth of science covered is breathtaking, and the illustrations bring a beautiful warmth. Forget my child, I'm learning loads too.Friendships have been studied and it is found that we “Tend to make friends with people who are like us.” Being of a similar age and living close to each other helps, but it seems that expressions and body language often match our own. This would be a wonderful addition to a young child’s bookshelf. Lambing Time and Other Animal Tales

Shall I tell you a secret? - ReadingZone

THIS is an impossible question! Ok, I will be diplomatic and choose a question from one of my own children: If everything is made of atoms, are feelings made of atoms? This question perfectly captures the way that young children will absorb new information, ruminate for a bit, then absolutely dazzle with their creative connections. The Bedtime Book of Impossible Questions Why are bubbles always round? Could I ever touch a rainbow? Why can’t I remember being a baby? Full of insightful facts and curious conundrums, this is the perfect present for any inquisitive child. Queries such as "Can you touch a rainbow?", "How do planes fly?" and more are answered in witty, informative ways. I'd advise reading it yourself so you can act smug when the answers finally come!This book is for both young people and their adults, and I hope they will take away slightly different things. I'd love to leave children with the sense that curiosity is their superpower, and that there is power in saying 'I don't know… yet.” I'd love to encourage them to carrying on questioning everything around them. Top-notch nonfiction from a profoundly accomplished author, it's the sort of book that could ignite lifelong scientific curiosity." Guardian
