Why don’t we fly off?</i><br><br><i> Why do elephants have trunks?</i><br><br> And the all-time classic, <i>Why is the sky blue?</i> (Sunlight has a hidden rainbow of colors, and air molecules scatter blues the most—sending bright blue light down to Earth.)<br><br> The text is clearly written, engaging, and accessible.
