Book Summary

Frankie Sparks loves science and wants to use her skills to help her second-grade class choose the perfect class pet. With her best friend Maya, Frankie observes and experiments with different animals like hamsters, guinea pigs, and fish to gather data. They learn about animal needs and responsibilities before making a scientific decision. The class ultimately welcomes a guinea pig named Pip, and Frankie learns that even with science, there are always new things to learn about caring for a pet.
