Frog’s Life 

A young child eagerly reports on huge numbers of leopard frogs making a racket as they descend on a pond to mate! Readers will follow along as the narrator observes the leopard frogs‘ behavior up close, including their incredible transformation from young tadpoles to froglets and, finally, to adult frogs. Colorful photos, diagrams, and clear, age-appropriate text will engage young readers as they explore the life cycle, natural habitat, physical characteristics, diet, and behavior of these amazing amphibians. The diary format models scientific observation and critical thinking–and encourages children to keep notebooks recording their own investigations into the natural world.
