Summary |
"In Pamela S. Turner's The Frog Scientist, readers will join Tyrone and his students as they work in the field and in a lab filled with frogs of all shapes and sizes (and with unique personalities, too!). Stunning photographs by Andy Cormins abound as readers follow the step-by-step progress of a scientific experiment (and discover that firm answers to complex questions aren't easy to come by). The Frog Scientist is a story of one man's commitment to frogs -- and to the health of our environment."--Jacket. |
