In Memory of Gorfman T. Frog

(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Janet Pedersen. Josh finds a sickly five-legged frog near his house. After the animal dies, Josh tries to take it to a scientist to find out whether the pond is contaminated--but is thwarted by his principal who takes the frog away. This humorous story featuring the exploits of a realistically mischievous fifth grader, shown in occasional black-and-white illustrations, doesn't sink under its environmentalist message.
