Asking questions may seem like it comes naturally, but it's actually a learned social skill. How do questions and answers work? What makes a good question--and what makes a rude one? Who cares about questions?
This helpful how-to guide teaches kids what a question is, when to ask one, and how to form one. Friendly tips and pointers ("Keep it short!" "Show interest!") help kids keep their questions appropriate and on point. Above all, the book encourages readers to keep on asking questions--the beginning of learning about the world.Author Biography

Faced with a hilarious cascade of non-questions, sort-of-questions, and what-was-that questions from her young audiences, she realized that a book was in order. April is the award-winning author of more than 65 nonfiction books for children and adults, including Trout Are Made of Trees; Thank You, Earth; Best in Snow; The Slowest Book Ever; and the Geisel Honor book Vulture View. Each year she speaks to more than 15,000 students--who ask her lots and lots of questions.
