Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The gift that gets a kid to put the phone down - and pick it back up on their own.

Every parent knows the fight. Every grandparent has watched a grandchild disappear into a screen at a family dinner. 100,000 Whys for Tweens gives you something better to hand them: 70+ real "wait, why does that happen?" questions about their own body, animals, space, weather, food, and everyday technology - the kind of curiosity a phone was never built to satisfy.

Hand it to a 10-to-14-year-old and watch what happens. They flip to a random page, get pulled into why sharks don't get cancer or why astronauts really float, and twenty minutes pass without a single screen in sight. No app. No login. No battery to charge.

For parents looking for a real alternative to "one more episode" - this is a book built to be picked up unprompted, not assigned as homework. Twelve chapters explain real science without ever talking down to a kid, and a hands-on "Try It" activity in every chapter turns curiosity into something they can actually do - using nothing but stuff already sitting around the kitchen or a junk drawer.

For grandparents who want to give something that outlasts the wrapping paper - this is a gift a child returns to on their own, on a car ride, before bed, on a rainy afternoon, long after the toys from the same birthday are forgotten. A Chapter Checkpoint quiz closes out every chapter, so you can ask "so what did you learn?" and actually get an answer worth hearing.

The final chapter even tackles the mysteries science hasn't solved yet - because raising a genuinely curious kid means teaching them that "I don't know" can be the most exciting answer of all.

Perfect for birthdays, holidays, or "just because." For the kid who never stops asking why - and the adult who's ready to give them a real answer instead of another screen.
