Why Do Computers Know So Much? (Turtleback School & Library Binding Edition)
Description
Early learners are encouraged to ask and answer questions about technology (eg: Why do cell phones not work in some places? Why do light bulbs come in different shapes? Why do televisions have flat screens? Why do microwaves spin your food round and round?) in this playful text. Each question is posed and answered first with an imaginative "silly" answer followed by the correct answer. The text sequence and repetition creates an engaging game for young readers, as they are encouraged to dream up their own "silly" answer on the way to learning.
