The Frog
Sally Tagholm, Bert Kitchen
Hardcover
(Kingfisher, April 15, 2000)
Superbly detailed drawings capture the elusive frog in its watery realm, as it captures its prey with a sticky tongue, feeds its young, and leaps from place to place to escape from predators. The carefully crafted text integrates facts about various aspects of the frog's life cycle into a narrative that informs and entertains. Parents and kids discovering nature together will find this a thought-provoking introduction to the appreciation of a wild animal in its natural habitat.
