Amazon Description

"WHY?" is Lily's favorite word. She asks it all the time. Her dad tries to give her sensible answers but sometimes he just gets upset. Then, one afternoon in the park, something rather unusual happens—something that makes Lily's dad very proud of her indeed.

One Potato Review

If you were being raised by an apparently single dad, you might ask Why? all the time too. The father in this story is admirable and patient, only once in while stuffing his head under the sofa cushions or running off raving, and all of this little girl’s interminable skepticism (or is it just a tic?) might otherwise grow a little tedious (for parents), were it not for the timely appearance of a gigantic Thargon spaceship over the sandbox one day, so Lily can drive someone else a little crazy for a change, or get them to do a little soul-searching, and save the human race while she is at it. Because it’s finally the people who ask Why? who are responsible for these sorts of things, even if they are a little annoying to hang out with.
