Curious children learn most by following their interests and exploring the subjects that capture their imaginations. For the very young, asking questions is more important than getting immediate answers. Discovery occurs naturally as they zig and zag through the world; never more so than in our fast-paced information age.

The Zigzag titles are designed to introduce individual subjects to children and then encourage them to Zigzag down other paths to find out more. From the thought-provoking titles to the last spread where a Zigzag path of adventure awaits, these books offer solid information wrapped in an appealing package. "I-can-read" print combines with chalk-bordered photographs, which are artfully amended to clarify, illuminate, and pique interest. Each text holds the child's attention with humor and irreverence and thought-provoking questions; all are written in K1-appropriate, easy-to-understand language. Every book addresses science-as-inquiry curriculum standards, but the kids won't know—they'll be too busy Zigzagging their way through the start-to-finish chart to a world of knowledge.
