Keeping warm in winter is tough for those of us living in the colder parts of the world. I keep warm by pulling on an extra sweater, wearing fuzzy slippers, and drinking hot cocoa. So when I saw the cover of this book, I knew I had to review it! Because… hot chocolate and frogs! And because the cover is so inviting!<\/p>\n

\"\"Do Frogs Drink Hot Chocolate?<\/em><\/strong>
\nBy Etta Kaner ; illus. by John Martz
\n32 pages; ages 4-8
\nOwlkids, 2018<\/p>\n

When it gets cold out, do animals turn up the heat?<\/em>
\nNo!<\/em><\/p>\n

Using a question-answer format, this book explores how animals survive chilly – and downright frigid – weather. Thankfully, the hot chocolate question gets answered rig<\/span>ht away. I’ll save you the suspense: Frogs do not<\/strong> drink hot cocoa. They don’t even try to keep warm. In fact, some of them turn into frogsicles during winter. Brrrrr!<\/span><\/p>\n

What I like about this book: I love the diversity of strategies that are presented for keeping warm. Penguins snuggle, butterflies sunbathe, and some animals build snow dens (snow is a great insulator!). Things animals don’t do: jump up and down, wear ear muffs, drink hot chocolate. Well, wild animals may not do those things, but I can think of one animal that does all three: humans.<\/p>\n

Keep warm with some Beyond-the-Book activities over at Archimedes Notebook.<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s STEM Friday!<\/a> (STEM<\/strong> is S<\/strong>cience, T<\/strong>echnology, E<\/strong>ngineering, and M<\/strong>athematics)<\/p>\n
