Description:
Angela DiTerlizzi surprises us again with another rhyming inspirational book for any child bored to death, especially during the long summer days!!
Kids will be delighted with the colorful pictures, which are full of details and questions to be answered.
The young protagonist is bored. Boredom seems to have no end, but an unexpected visitor is there to offer a solution. It's Curious Why, looking for anyone willing to become a 'knowledge-collector'. There is a whole world waiting to be discovered! What better place than a library to find answers!

- talk about professions: librarian, scientist, artist, historian
- talk about feelings and what/how they make us feel.
- reflect on pronunciation and play with rhyming words.
