In addition to words from these two basic lists, each book has an average of about one new word per page. The foreword to this story collection states: “Children have always asked their parents, 'why' things -- why some animals have long tails and others short tails, why some birds have brightly colored feathers and others do not, why this and why that. And the parents have made up wonderful stories to answer such questions. To show how these 'why' store are found all over the world, we have selected some from many countries. The people in the stories may be strange to you, and the animals may be strange. But this just goes to show that all peoples in all parts of the world have the same ideas, telling why things are as they are or happen as they do.'
