4 ⭐ 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.

I need to get this for my library. What an important scientist and source of inspiration for future entomologists. The book is a little long for a read aloud in my setting, but would be great as part of a biography unit. Another great #readforperspective The timeline at the end surprised me. He was born in 1861 and I didn't realize the story was that old until I saw the timeline.

Karisa Sounds like a very interesting person. If they make a movie of his life, I nominate LaKeith Stanfield for the role! 2y
mandarchy @Karisa that would be cool 2y
