My mother started feeding me the How and Why Wonder books when I was about seven years old, that is, when I started asking questions that she didn't have the answers for, or so she said. I had only a few: I think I had Light and Color (5040), maybe World War II (5035), and Dinosaurs (5001), and definitely Mathematics (5018). She certainly did not give me Ballet (5020): it took me another 30 years to get to the novice aficionado level in that area.
