    FROM SARAH:

    A tribute to all of the kids who love to ask, "why?", this fascinating picture book biography brings to life the story of a man who never stopped asking questions.

    FROM THE PUBLISHER:

    This colorfully illustrated biography of the Greek philosopher and scientist Eratosthenes, who compiled the first geography book and accurately measured the globe's circumference, is just right for budding mathematicians, scientists, historians, and librarians!
