HOW AND WHY WONDER BOOKS were written mostly in period from 1960 to the early 1970s. The audience for this collection of books was young people. All of books followed a similar format and were typically written in a form of a question followed up by an answer paragraph. Virtually all of the illustrations were hand art (not photographs). This page serves to document these books and is provided primarily as nostalgia. The content of many of the books is quite dated by today's standards (for example the How and Why Wonder Book of the Moon), however it is still fun to read through them to see how many of the future predictions were actually realized!
