Frank William Epperson knew he wanted to be an inventor from a very young age. This picture book chronicles his boyhood life through his successful invention of the popsicle. Along the way four step-by-step experiments are woven into the story including the materials needed, procedures, results, and additional information. Frank did invent many other things as well, but it was not his main form of employment.

The book is presented in tri-color overlays and sepia tones to help the reader get into the early 1900s.

The book ends with family photos from the 1920s and 1937, along with an advertisement poster for Popsicle.
