Madam How and Lady Why; Or, First Lessons in Earth Lore for Children 

‘Madam How and Lady Why or, First Lessons in Earth Lore for Children’ is a book of science presented in the form of exciting stories to make reading and understanding easier for readers of a young age. For example, to describe the cycle of minerals running in nature, the book describes how a mineral is pushed up from the depth of the Earth with love, gets absorbed by a plant, which in turn gets eaten by a bird which dies and falls into the ocean to be buried under the sand and become a mineral again.
