Ito, the protagonist of this charming book, is an intelligent and curious child. Every time he starts asking one of his many questions, his father laughs and says "Go ahead and ask, Mr Curious!". Ito's father knows that curiosity is a positive thing and that a child who asks questions learns. This book, written to be enjoyed by young children, answers childish questions with ingenuity, humour and creativity. The answers offered by the author using short stories also have the benefit of being adapted to the language and interests of children under the age of eight, who prefer fantastical explanations to scientific answers.
