An absolute classic little book that uses humor and cartoons to illustrate the joys of science and the scientific method. Perfect for students from junior high through university. I only wish it was still in print so I could assign it for the students in my animal behavior lab course.

I read this book when I was in college, many years ago, unfortunately-- after-- I had struggled through the science curriculum.

At the time, I thought how wonderful this book would be for a fifth or sixth grader whose opinion of the study of science has not yet been formed.

In this book, the author takes the reader on a journey through the curiosity of the human spirit, to wonder-- the human desire to discover how things work-- to know the value of asking questions--, along with the tedium, the failures, the successes and the rewards of finding answers to those questions. Such is the nature of scientific research.

That it was written with humor, on the study of flies, it was plain to see that the study or pursuit of science, is in fact FUN!

This book is too cute for words, and it's very informative. Read it now!
