Children are naturally curious. They love to explore the world around them—they question, observe, predict, experiment, sort and classify, just like a scientist.

Mother Goose Asks “Why?” links children’s literature to science by using picture books and a family activity guide filled with projects that make science learning fun.

Like stories, scientific investigations usually start with a question or a problem. Reading provides opportunities to identify and explore problems using the imagination, process skills of science, and tools to find solutions. And reading together encourages the sharing of ideas.

The Mother Goose Asks "Why?" family activity guide, picture books and activity kit provide:
• Information about science for young children, including the Process Skills of Science
• Standards-based explorations for you and your child to do together
• Ideas for making science part of your everyday lives together
