Product Information

If you are teaching a frog unit with students in second grade and above, these nonfiction chapter books will fit right in. They can be used for independent reading or for frog read-alouds. Keep the froggy theme going with these fiction and nonfiction books about frogs. A couple of books about caring for a pet frog are also included. One way that would be fun to explore the information in this text is to do a scavenger hunt. The teacher can create a list a questions such as "What are the three main groups of amphibians?" Students can work together in small groups to look through the book to find the answer to the questions. This would be a great way to teach students about how subtitles organize information in nonfiction texts and how they can use that to find the specific information that they are looking for. Another activity that students can do is choose a frog from the text that they found interesting and research information on that frog. Students can include a picture, diagram, and captions like Steve Jenkins does. Yes, most species of frogs need water for at least part of their life cycle. This is because their eggs are laid in water, and their larvae (tadpoles) live exclusively in water until they undergo metamorphosis and develop lungs and legs to live on land. The kindergarten year is filled with new experiences. Have kindergarten students hanging onto your every word with these read aloud books and picture books about frogs. Beginning readers will have opportunities to join in with repetitive text and sight words while getting their froggy fix. The popular Froggy series by Jonathan London includes 32 titles. I only included a select number here. The series can really keep young frog fans busy reading for quite a long time. Other fun fiction and informative nonfiction books about frogs are included as well. Son: Because they look kinda cute and kinda scary and kind of alienish. And batarang shaped. Those are all of my favorite frogs.

Every spread has one or two topics. For example the difference between a frog and a toad, at home in the water…, ...and on land, what do frogs eat and other interesting facts. LAUNCH RESEARCHERS – I’d use this book to launch researchers. I’m laughing because I drove my husband crazy reading aloud intriguing info from the book and when I looked over at him, he was looking at a picture of a frog he’d taken just that day. Before I knew it, he was on the internet looking for more information. As I read, I found myself stopping to look up particular frogs and learn more. Oh, my – wait until you read about the mustache toad!!! However, not all species of frogs require large bodies of water to thrive. Some species, like the terrestrial rainforest frogs, may not need water at all, as they can absorb moisture through their skin or obtain it from the food they eat. Ultimately, the amount of water a frog needs will depend on its species and its unique environmental requirements. Free Frog BookmarksSon: I think you are right. Frogs and water and tadpoles. That's what I think. Or lily leaves, what frogs like to sit on. Their youngest son, Jamie, was born in 1998. The questions his children asked over the years have been the inspiration for many of their books. Classroom Connection-If I were to teach a lesson on different types of habitats, I would read this book to the students and talk to them relating to the habitat frogs live in. After that, would have different stations with textured materials to demonstrate what certain types of frog feel like. This would create a kinetic learning environment. In her early career, Susan worked as an art director and graphic designer for various book publishing companies in New York City including Penguin and Macmillan. She has designed 100s of book covers in most genres. Her book design work has won many awards and is represented in the permanent collection of the Library of Congress in Washington, DC.

Personal Response- This was an interesting book, and I know a lot of students would enjoy reading this type of book. At this age, they are fascinated with wildlife and where they come from. I would provide this book in my classroom. After reading this book, and seeing all the different types od literature, I would want a section specific for nonfiction books about wildlife. Frogs can make good pets for some people, but they are not for everyone. Here are some things to consider: T and I have been watching and catching the tadpoles in the pond right now, but haven't been sure what to expect. The Frog Book explains the life-cycle clearly. We'll have the tadpoles for several more weeks – hooray! The Frog Book has also settled a minor family dispute. I call the current state of the critters "tadpoles" while my father calls them "polliwogs." On the sidelines are T and my mom, who both want to know who is right. I guess my only complaint about The Frog Book is that "tadpoles" and "polliwogs" are both acceptable terms for the post-egg stage. I so wanted to be right! While I don’t spend over the price limit on a Secret Santa gift, I do like to get more for my money. I want my recipient to feel special. That they’re being pampered and that their gift is good quality, generous and has had some thought put into it. Frogs require specific environmental conditions, such as temperature, humidity, and lighting, that can be challenging to maintain.Jumping ability: Frogs are known for their long, powerful jumps, while toads tend to move in shorter, more deliberate hops. In 1994 they moved to from New York City to Boulder, Colorado, where they work in a studio attached to their house, which was built in the 1880s and often functions as if it were still the 19th century. Son: No they don't!...They don't drink water. Water goes through their skin...I know about toads from my books Toad and Frog [sic]. and easy for a 4 year old or a 35 year old to understand. Before reading, I did know frogs were water and toads were land critters – I wasn't totally clueless. Now T and I are both clear on the difference, and so is T's dad. When he popped in to see what T was learning, T explained how you can tell a frog and toad apart. T also told me that he already knew, because he reads the Frogs are said to have two lives because of their unique life cycle that involves two distinct stages: the aquatic larval stage and the terrestrial adult stage.
