"[Adam] Rex delivers a storytime home run--hilarious, heartfelt,
instructive, and interactive." --Booklist, starred review
A sweet and appealing tale for anyone familiar with the universal
tendency of young children to always ask WHY? When supervillain Doctor
X-Ray swoops in threatening to vanquish an innocent crowd, the only one
brave enough not to run away is a little girl, who asks him simply,
"Why?" He is taken aback--but he answers. She keeps asking. And he keeps
answering--until a surprising truth is uncovered, and the villain is
thwarted.
