it should prove as enthralling and entertaining for tweens and teens as it will prove enlightening. "One of the beauties of this show is its unapologetic theatricality. “Fantastically entertaining, funny and smart.” - Jessica Goldman, CBC Calgary’s Eyeopener So when his fourth-grade class gets a White’s tree frog as a pet, all of Phin’s anxieties come to a boil. And then there’s the constant news from his favourite TV station, the Green Channel, about how humans are ruining the environment, a fact Phin is growing increasingly anxious about. Take for example his mom, who insists he learn to fall asleep on his own, even though all young mammals sleep with their mothers or his dad, who recently picked up and left the family, a behaviour quite unlike other mate-for-life animals. Nine-year-old Phineas interprets the world through his encyclopedic knowledge of animals, but some human behaviour is just too puzzling. *Written with Braden Griffiths, adapted from the novel "Amphibian" by Carla Gunn.
