Il libro dei perché

by Rodari Gianni

“The game of why is the oldest in the world. Before even learning to speak, man had to have a big question mark on his head \’: Gianni Rodari\’s words clearly clarify the meaning of the\’ why \’of this book and take us inside a literary workshop where rationality and imagination , science and poetry live together. Born from two journalistic columns in which the writer answered the most disparate questions of his young readers, the \’whys\’ once again give a measure of the greatness of Gianni Rodari, who with vivacity and irony knew how to make young and old readers think.
