All about the weird and wonderful world of frogs. The story begins with an introduction by a Wallace's frog, explaining just how long frogs have been around for. This frog becomes the narrator as he introduces the reader to all sorts of weird and wonderful frogs. Frogs as big as cats, frogs as small as a fingernail, frogs with see-through skin, poisonous frogs, flying frogs, frogs with claws, greedy frogs and more. Each page is supported by fun facts, covering important subjects such as the lifecycle, diet, and habitat, touching gently on the theme of habitat loss and what frogs need to survive.
Included at the end of the story is a wonderful full colour frog diagram to scan and print, along with folding instructions to make your own paper frog, or even an army of paper frogs Children can play many games with their very own frogs, armed with the knowledge from the story, such as 'feed the frog', by flipping the frog on to the endpapers of bugs, or lining up several frogs and having a game of 'race the frog'. Using the instructions and different sizes of paper introduces the option of making big frogs and small frogs, different colours of paper creates different coloured frogs, and children could even colour in their own frog by choosing their own design.
This book is an informative read with a fun activity to support learning that encourages imaginative play.
