I was SO glad when this came back in print. This is a cumulative tale a la "House that Jack Built". You can get the children chanting "Jump Frog Jump!" in a few pages. Barton's bright folk-like illustrations fit right in.
The patterned text and predictable pictures (for the next animal encounter)are excellent for young listeners and beginning readers. The color/blackand white pages also have a predictable pattern. After teaching kindergarten for over31 years, I've never found a group of children that didn't quickly chime in,"Jump, Frog, Jump." This is a favorite book to share. It is also fun to dramatize.
The repetition and predictable outcomes were a joy for my 4 year old boy. After 3 readings he enthusiastically read the Jump, Frog, Jump! page by himself! We used green pillows as lily pads and acted out the escaping frog scenes.
Classic book that's very cute! My husband loved this book when he was young, so we purchased it for our 2 young children and they love it just as much as daddy!! They love saying the "jump frog jump" part in the book. This book is fun and very entertaining!
The book was in good shaped as promised. I use this in school to work on sequencing with Kindergarten students. There is a worksheet online that goes along with the story book. The kids seem to really like this activity!
My 2 year old loves this. It was one of my favorites as a child, and it's so nice to share with my sons. The board book edition is nice and sturdy for small, excited hands. Repetition and a cumulative story make this a great literacy experience for older toddlers and preschool aged children.
This is a silly little story along the same lines as the little old lady who swallowed a fly. Although some of the wording seems awkward to me now, I loved it as a child and I love sharing it with my child now.
This is one of our favorite books as a family. My babies loved being read this book. We had it for so long in just board book format that I finally bought the hardback paper book so that my elementary age kids who still like to read it won't feel "babyish".
