In this fun, fascinating and full-color guide, the fan-favorite heroes of Big Hero 6 introduce young readers to the most fascinating, unusual and downright mind-boggling concepts from science, technology, engineering and math - and of the critical thinking skills they'll need to become super-brain superheroes in their own right!

Jam-packed with answers to hundreds of fascinating "why" questions that are sure to keep kids turning pages for hours, this book leverages the STEM backgrounds of the Big Hero 6 characters to make every question and concept relevant to today's kids. They'll learn why robots will soon develop AI (whether we want them to or not), why our fingertips wrinkle when they get wet, why the sun is able to eject solar flares into space when there's no oxygen to feed them, why water sometimes runs uphill, and much, much more.

While there are other books for children that try to answer the question "why?," the Big Hero 6 Super-Brain Science Book of Why is the only one completely devoted to STEM topics, which are a huge focus of children's education today. What's more, this book also introduces kids to the concept of "critical thinking," with sidebars and callouts throughout, challenging readers to understand how the scientists arrived at the conclusions to these STEM-based questions.

With publication timed to coincide with the second season of this hit Disney cartoon, this book will help keep young kids educated and entertained year round.
