About this title

About the Author:

Gail Gibbons "has taught more preschoolers and early readers about the world than any other children's writer-illustrator," according to the Washington Post. Winner of the 2010 Regina Award, she has written and illustrated more than fifty books for Holiday House. She lives in Corinth, Vermont.

From School Library Journal:

PreSchool-Grade 2-This book once again demonstrates Gibbons's ability to present factual information in an appealing format for very young audiences. Here, she takes readers through the life cycle of frogs, beginning with the eggs or spawn and describing the stages from tadpole to adulthood. Clear, full-color illustrations present their anatomy, daily activities, and the different types. Scientific terms are presented phonetically. A double-page spread explains the difference between a frog and a toad, and the last page provides a few odd and interesting facts about these amphibians, such as "An African bullfrog can be as large as a football." An attractive offering.
