When you pick up the book, the first things that catch your eye are the brightly colored frogs on the cover. Margherita Borin’s watercolor, pen and pencil illustrations leap off the page. They are both marvelously accurate and cleverly put together in ways that will make young readers smile. For example, the critters that frogs eat (flies, beetles, etc.) are grouped into a frog shape as through they are inside an invisible frog. Fun!<\/p>\n

The text takes readers on a journey into the world of frogs. They will learn what frogs are, where frogs live (their habitats), compare the biggest to the smallest, and find out about their life cycles.<\/p>\n

A Frog’s Life<\/em> will delight young readers interested in nature, animals, and particularly in frogs. Hop on over to your local library or book store, and pick up a copy today!<\/p>\n

And check out Growing with Science for the rest of the review and some related activity suggestions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
