PB#32 The Frog Scientist

Author: Pamela S. Turner
Title: The Frog Scientist
Genre: Juvenile Literature
Subgenre: Ages 9-12 
Awards: Orbis Pictus  
Publishing company: Houghton Mifflin 
Brief summary of how to use with students: This book is about the frog scientist Tyrone Hayes who has studied to determine the effect of the pesticide, atrazine, on frogs in his lab. There are lots of interesting facts about frogs as well as personal information on Tyrone and his students. I have to say - I've never read a book like this one but I did enjoy it.
It would be great to read in a science class!
