The book opens with stories such as a whale's dining habits being controlled by a tiny fish and a camel getting his hump from a magical being as punishment for being lazy. Told with a sense of fun, the stories use imaginative language and humor to answer simple how-and-why questions, connecting with the reader through playful narration and lighthearted lessons.
