I love the rhyming and the message of this story. Sara is just like my daughter at that age, always asking why. The caring, thoughtful answers in the book feel very true to real family life, and I really appreciate them. (This review has been adapted for display on this website.)

I really enjoyed this book, and the illustrations are absolutely delightful. I read it aloud to my five-year-old neighbor, and she immediately started coming up with her own questions. I can easily imagine preschool and early elementary teachers using it with their classes and even creating their own Why can’t I books together. There is so much here to enjoy and to think about.

This book is absolutely adorable. I love the artwork and the way the answers to Sara’s questions are short, clear, and written in rhyme. It makes the story fun to read aloud and easy for children to follow. (This review has been adapted for display on this website.)
