The Boy Who Invented the Popsicle
The Boy Who Invented the Popsicle: The Cool Science Behind Frank Epperson's Famous Frozen Treat | Anne Renaud
1 post | 1 read | 1 to read
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!

Whenever I tell my students that a book is a true story, you can hear them gasp. They love history. Why do we ruin it for them with the way we teach it? Our two big questions with this book, what inspired Frank? What was his break through or when did he figure it out? This book has science, recipes, history and grit. #readoutloud #kidlit #everbodybooks

Librariana I love hearing kids being excited by learning! That reading has engaged their curiosity and hopefully encourages them to learn more... explore more books about an interest. Yay! 😄 3y
mandarchy @Librariana they really light up every time I tell them it's a true story. Imagine no pop at the store, Frank had to make soda pop from scratch and the author shares his recipe! 3y
