Science Books
Kids ask great questions. A lot of them. With help from The Maker Bean Café, we collected thought-provoking questions from our most inquisitive visitors and answered them in two fun and informative books for curious minds of all ages.
Why Does My Shadow Follow Me?
Are birds really dinosaurs? Is there Wi-Fi in space? Why do we have butts?
We answer these questions and more in our new book, Why Does My Shadow Follow Me?
Discover the truth about T-Rex’s closest relatives, find out how astronauts can watch movies in space, learn why your bum has one of the most important jobs in the human body and so much more in this book made for curious little minds aged 7 to 11. Young readers will love gobbling up the mind-boggling science facts to share with their friends and family members. It’s also a perfect book for parents and kids to read together. Trust us—the adults out there will be just as blown away by the scorpion-eating mouse or the special chemists that make candy!
Why Does My Shadow Follow Me? tackles 50 fascinating questions about animals, the human body, planet Earth, technology and outer space. Every question is from a real kid who has visited the Ontario Science Centre. And all questions are answered by author Kira Vermond with the help of our Science Centre educators and researchers. Amazing illustrations by Suharu Ogawa along with facts on every page will engage and inspire readers, encouraging them to ask even more questions about this wild, wacky and wonderful world we live in.
