Review

Did you know that there are over 5,000 kinds of frogs? Martin Jenkins introduces our youngest readers to the world of frogs. His introduction gives the reader some basic information about frogs and then he focuses on several types of frogs- the largest, the smallest, and a host of just plain strange frogs! Hopgood's large, realistic illustrations bring these amphibians to life, they seem to hop off the page! Jenkin's text is simple and informative- a sentence or two,that will leave the reader wanting to know more , so he has added a short paragraph about the featured frog on each page. In the back of the book, there is an index and websites for more useful information. this picture book is a great for those budding herpetologists and for the curious. It will also fit the STEAM curriculum.

Overall Book Score: excellent
