This delightful mid-20th century hardcover edition of “Questions Children Ask” by Edith and Ernest Bonhivert offers a fascinating glimpse into the inquisitive minds of young readers from a bygone era. Published at a time when children’s curiosity about the world was often met with simple platitudes or outright dismissal, this volume bravely tackles a wide range of questions with refreshing candor and insight. From queries about the natural world and human biology to musings on philosophy, religion, and the complexities of society, the Bonhiverts’ responses are a testament to the importance of nurturing a child’s sense of wonder and providing age-appropriate explanations that foster critical thinking. With its well-worn cover and occasional foxing, this vintage copy bears the charming patina of a book that has been cherished and pored over by generations of young readers. For collectors, it represents a delightful time capsule of mid-century parenting philosophies and a reminder of the enduring power of curiosity in shaping young minds.
