Kearsten says: This full-color book about frogs is great! The color photographs are bright, detailed (close-up when necessary) and labeled clearly with the frog names. The sentences are clear and at about a first/second grade level, and scientific or unfamiliar words are simply defined in a

contrasting colored box on the same page spread in which the word is used.

In addition to being eye-catching, the book is very informative and interesting, with lots of fun facts - for example, if human tongues were as long as frogs' tongues, they'd reach to our navels!

Highly recommended - fun and interesting!

S says: "Some books are fun, some books are about hopping animals, and some books have hoppy, hoppy fun when they have a dance to learn! I liked this frogs book because it tells you about lots of frogs and what kinds of frogs are poisonous and what kinds aren't. I also liked it because it shows you lots of cool information in the colorful pictures. It also has funny frog jokes - hah hah hah! I think this book would be good for first graders and up."

Good early-reader non-fiction book with bright, detailed, colour photographs. The images are labeled clearly. Simple sentences provide clear information, with unfamiliar/scientific words defined. The book is very informative and interesting.

I really enjoyed reading this book because I found it to be very educational. The pictures were bold bright and of actual frogs which made it all the more interesting. Another reason I think that this is a great book is because it included fun textual features such as side bars and mini fact boxes

throughout the book that gave you information about other things in addition to frogs such as 'if humans had frog tongue,' and frog jokes. The big picture of this book was frogs.

This book introduces children to the world of amphibians using colorful photographs and fun facts offering information about amphibians' behaviors, physical characteristics, and habitats.

Filled with facts and photos, this text aims to grab the reader’s attention. The larger type size and colorful text bubbles usher the reader from page to page of fascinating information on frogs. Includes table of contents, brief visual glossary.
