Eh. I wasn't that into it. I've lived in close proximity to chickens before, and, trust me, they're not worthy objects of interest.

This is a nice biography about a man who always asked “Why”. Why do ants not get lost? Can bees see in color? Can a cockroach learn? It is by asking questions and studying the animals that scientific knowledge is gained. Charles Henry Turner was a man of his time, whose constant questioning led to many scientific discoveries.

As a young boy, Charles Henry Turner was curious and had lots of questions running through his mind. He was fascinated by animals and bugs and decided to study their lives. His parents couldn't answer Turner's questions they bought him books. When books didn't answer his questions, he researched, experimented, and looked for answers on his own. The boy whose teacher urged him "to go and find out" grew into a teacher himself, a devoted scholar who taught students to look closely.
