Let your curiosity run wild! This lively book will inspire you to ask questions like scientists do. Why? Because questions can lead you to amazing discoveries. Like what? Like when theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking puzzled over black holes and the origin of the universe. And when ornithologist Margaret Nice pioneered techniques—in her own backyard!—for observing and tracking birds.

Wild Wonderings’ lively stories, colorful pictures, and fun rhymes will show you lots of new things about what it’s like to be a scientist. Did you know that they find out a lot by accident? That they have to be patient and persistent? And—most of all—that all questions can be good questions? Wild Wonderings will help you see that, as author Jessica Fries-Gaither writes:

Questions aren’t just for scientists, you see.
You can ask, too! Now what will yours be?
