Review

You Wonder All the Time is a wonderful book in the All the Time series. If you haven't discovered this wonderful series, please check out the other books as well. In You Wonder All the Time, we see the best of a child's curiosity with one that asks endless questions. For some, it may test their patience but as we see in the book what happens when that curiosity is nurtured. It can be a wonderful experience that promotes knowledge and can be fun. The colorful illustrations make the book fun and engaging. My favorite part is how the child is encouraged by his mother and also assured that if she can't answer, they will explore together. So many kids get discouraged when their questions are turned away but when you have someone that promotes their enthusiasm to learn, you plant the seed for their mind to be limitless.
