About

A lively tale of a cool invention.

Frank William Epperson is a curious boy who loves inventing. And since inventing begins with experimenting, he spends a lot of time in his "laboratory" (i.e., his back porch) trying out his ideas. When he invents a yummy flavored soda water drink, his friends love it! And this gets him thinking: "I wonder what this drink would taste like frozen?" Though he doesn't yet know it, Frank's curiosity will lead to his best invention ever: the Popsicle!

This delicious story includes hands-on experiments and is sure to whet the appetites of budding inventors everywhere!
