Review

Rainforest Colored pictures capture the life of the tree frog where the writer takes the reader through the frog's life cycle and lables each frog carefully. Simple short sentrences are geared to the preschool, kindergarten attention span and there is no question that students will want to point at the pictures.

The format is set up with a picture on one page and large print on the other page. A smaller insert with the text also helps expand the meaning of the words. For example a large picture of a tree frog near a fly fills one page, while the text about eating appears on the other side. The small insert lables other insects tree frogs eat.

The author includes questions with answers in the back, along with a bibliography, index and online sites for learning more about tree frogs. Tree Frog is one of the books in the sereis: Treed Animal Life in the Trees.

Overall Book Score: excellent
