About this page
Chapter one closes by putting the pencil fully in your child's hand. A giant empty thought bubble floats above Curious Cat's head, and the invitation is simple, draw the thing you most want to learn about. This is the child's first real research act, choosing a topic. Whatever lands in that bubble, dinosaurs, the moon, why cake rises, becomes their very own question to carry into the rest of the book. It is the perfect finale to the Spark of Curiosity chapter, turning ten pages of wondering into one proud, personal choice.
Talk about it while you color
- What did you choose to draw in the bubble, and what made you pick it?
- What is one thing you already know about your topic, and one thing you do not?
- Where do you think we could go to find out more about it?
