One final trial, cutting holes along the bottom edge with help from their mom, provides a definitive result: The next morning, the worms have all vanished. The children are disappointed, but “Now we know.” Leaving the two to conduct further dialogues with a pill bug they’re cheered to find in their box, Levine concludes her clearly laid out text with simple guidelines for young scientists eager to design safe, methodical animal studies of their own—plus nods to the iconic zoologists after whom she named her duo, Jane Goodall and Niko Tinbergen.

One final trial, cutting holes along the bottom edge with help from their mom, provides a definitive result: The next morning, the worms have all vanished. The children are disappointed, but “Now we know.” Leaving the two to conduct further dialogues with a pill bug they’re cheered to find in their box, Levine concludes her clearly laid out text with simple guidelines for young scientists eager to design safe, methodical animal studies of their own—plus nods to the iconic zoologists after whom she named her duo, Jane Goodall and Niko Tinbergen.
