Why is the Sky Blue? Book Review







Why is the Sky Blue?
by Shabana Muhajir
Children's Book


Book Description:
While playing at the beach, two boys begin to wonder why the sky is blue and ask their mother to explain the reason to them. As they are very young, their mother needs to decide how best to explain to her boys. She discusses the phenomenon of the blue sky in a manner that even her six year old can understand. While addressing their initial query, the boys come up with several other related questions, and the mother answers them all with simple facts and drawings. To make it easier and more interesting, she performs a fun experiment with her boys, which shows them why the sky is blue at sunrise and red/orange at sunset.

The book is a must have for all those curious kids who are trying to make sense of the world around them, and for all those parents who want to satisfy their curiosity.

My Opinion
Why Is The Sky Blue? really explains why the sky is blue in a way everyone can understand. It is really fun to read because it made me feel like I was learning something new but I didn't just feel like that I actually did learn a few things. I liked how the mom in this story explained everything to her two children and they even did a fun little experiment. In the back of the book there's even a little glossary and some fast facts you can share with your children. It is a very fun and educational book to read.
