The
Children’s Encyclopedia
The young child asks of the parent explanations of the most simple phenomena and of the most profound problems. And in too many cases the parent is unable to answer. This work will overcome that difficulty. It tells “the reason why” simply, plainly and fully so the child may understand.
IT IS A VERITABLE ENCYCLOPEDIA, ANSWERING QUESTIONS THAT ARISE DAILY IN THE HOME.
Why
do we dream?
What is thunder?
What makes the rainbow?
Why do sea-shells “roar”?
Why is the sea salt?
Why are the lips red?
Why have fish
fins?
“Armed with this little manual, which is admirably indexed and profusely illustrated, one could face the most inquisitive stranger or even his infant son with perfect equanimity.”—San Francisco Chronicle
