Aesop's the Crow and the Pitcher

This is a refreshing twist on a classic fable. In her reinterpretation of Aesop's fable of perseverance, Stephanie Gwyn Brown guides readers through all six steps of the scientific method - from question to communication - with Crow as the model scientist.

But it takes a strong work ethic and a series of comic attempts before he invents a way to bring the water to a life-saving drinking level.

Readers will learn much more than just a moral to the story.
