A wonderful beautifully illustrated book about curiosity and asking questions about the world around you!

This book does a great job of exploring some of the silly things that kids may wonder about in a fun, non judgmental way. It challenges you to ponder and wonder about the world around you and why things are the way they are.

To top it all off this book is full of amazing illustrations that are fun and work well with the story. If you're looking for a fun book for story time or just a fun read with cute pictures this is the book for you!

Thank you Netgalley and The Collective Book Studio for an ARC in exchange for an honest review

I love this book! This book shows young readers the power of their own unique imaginations, which is an awesome meaning for a kids' book. The main thing that helps convey this to readers is the illustrations. There's color, emotion, energy, life, a variety of lines...you name it. There are absolutely no limits to a kid's imagination, and the illustrator definitely recognizes this and allows it to shine through on each and every page. The visuals definitely get a reader's creativity started, but where it takes them is up to them. This is awesome! Lastly, the writing was simple, descriptive, and organized really well. This lets readers give a lot of their attention to the spectacular illustrations and walk away from this book feeling inspired. Bravo!

How Do I Wonder? is a charming and captivating book that celebrates the curiosity of children. The rhythmic rhymes make it a delightful read-aloud, perfect for storytime, and the illustrations are absolutely adorable—colorful, lively, and a perfect match for the whimsical questions the book poses. What really sets this book apart is how it taps into that childlike wonder, encouraging kids to explore their “silly” questions without fear of judgment. It’s a lovely reminder of how important it is to nurture curiosity and imagination, something that many adults tend to lose over time. A wonderful, heartwarming read that fosters the magic of asking questions and never losing your sense of wonder!

This beautifully illustrated book is perfect for a cuddly close read. It encourages kids to wonder and think and explore inside their own heads. While the rhyming text and intricate pictures do not necessarily lend themselves to a read aloud storytime setting the message is important. We want our kids to think, imagine and wonder.

Thanks NetGalley for the ARC!

My 3yo loved the illustrations, I loved the story. The rhyming felt very “Dr Seuss” at times. But that’s not a bad thing in my book. I loved the rhythm of the words and the creativity used.

This story will help kids find their imagination. It was beautiful to read.

An introspective book for children. This could take up an entire night of bedtime reading. An interactive book which children can understand.

How Do I Wonder? is the CUTEST picture book about imagination and curiosity. It poses so many fun, creative questions about the world and encourages readers to think outside of the box about the world around them. The illustrations are beautifully done, and the prose has a very lyrical quality with a rhyme scheme that flows smoothly. I can see the children with whom I work loving this book, both for its bright, fun colors and its literary content. This will definitely be one I pick up and suggest to young readers.

Every kid should read this. The pictures are magical, and every page has such interesting questions, full of intriguing ideas. This book really gives the idea that questions are limitless and it's wonderful to ask and learn about whatever you're interested in. Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this

My son loved this book! We love the lesson of never stop asking questions and to always be curious and open to learning. Would absolutely keep this book on a shelf to read often.

A cute story celebrating curiosity, how our minds work, and spending time without distractions to ponder questions. The illustrations were cute.

My 3 year old enjoyed it and had enough familiarity with the elements of the pretend questions that were posed (dinosaurs, atoms, seeds, brains, …) to understand the story but some of the general vocabulary would be better suited for grade school age. I’d gift this one to kids in the 4-7 year range.

Thank you to NetGalley and The Collective Book Studio for the advanced copy.

This book was ok....I kind of felt like it was two books in one. As a mother, I love books that make you think and ask questions. I love seeing the looks on my kids faces as they ponder. But this book felt like it was asking lots of questions but then offering an understanding of maybe why you ask questions, or where to find your wonder...in your mind. idk, I liked parts but overall, it's just missing something or I felt it got a little sidetracked somewhere. Hope this makes sense.

'How Do I Wonder?' explores the mind of an inquisitive child, making asking questions about the world around you endless fun. Through gorgeous illustrations, wonder is created through the joys of children's imaginations. This would be the perfect book to read before doing a thought exercise with children to spark their imagination.

This was another kids book I seen available for request on NetGalley and had to get it! The cover was eye catching and clearly “wonder” was a theme I was gravitated towards. I have two little girls who are always asking questions like these or pointing things out like the moon and stars (especially when the moon is still visible in the morning). The illustrations in this book was something else! They are so colorful and eye catching it had me looking at every detail on the pages so I didn’t miss anything. This is a book that would be loved by many kids and super easy to read.
