Description

When supervillain Doctor X-Ray swoops in, promising to vanquish an innocent crowd, the only one 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. In this take on the small-and-determined-beats-big-loud-bully story, simple questions lead to profound answers in a quest that proves the power of curiosity, featuring the universal tendency of young children who just won't stop asking WHY?
