Growing Frogs: Read And Wonder Read Free Books and Download eBooks
"Part picture book for pleasure reading . . . and part practical how-to, this dramatic account is the next best thing to setting up a hatchery of your own." - FAMILY FUNWhen a mother brings her daughter to a pond to collect some frog spawn, the little girl isn’t sure what to expect. Day after day she checks on the jellylike bubbles until the black dots in their centers turn into slippery tadpoles, sprouting bumps that turn to stumps that become legs with webby feet. The engaging narrative and colorful illustrations accurately evoke each stage of a frog’s growth, in a story that will inspire children to roll up their sleeves and experience firsthand the wonders of the natural world.

Wonderful story about the frog life cycle. Realistic fiction story that clearly shows and explains the frog life cycle . Story takes the eggs all the way through tadpole, froglet into adult frog. I used it as an introduction to our frog unit in kindergarten. Students went back to it again and again. Simple easy to read perfect for children ages 3-7.
If you want to be able to explain the life cycle of a frog to a young child, this is a great book to use! I read it to the students in my four year olds class (who just happen to be named the Tadpole group) and they loved the illustrations and learning about how frogs grow. They wanted to find a pond immediately so they could gather water with eggs in it and do the experiment themselves. Not a bad idea as part of an early childhood curriculum.
There is a story printed in large text, of a little girl and her mother gathering frog eggs at a pond, and watching them hatch and grow. In smaller text on every page is scientific information your little amphibiologist will love. The small text explains things like what happens to the tadpole's external gills, how often to change the pond water in your tank at home, and how the frog sperm and egg join together at fertilization.Vivid illustrations and clear text make this one a winner.
