Editorial Review

“This picture book has a fun, simple text replete with froggy sounds and a rhythm and rhyme or near-rhyme that give it a pleasant, poetic flavor. The book presents the life (from mating to birth to growth) of a common frog while featuring illustrations of the leopard frog, spring peeper, and bullfrog. The typeface is arranged to reflect the creatures’ activities, alternately leaping across the page or growing larger or smaller with the volume of the animal’s songs. The attractive, full-color drawings with richly colored backgrounds add to the feeling of the cool quiet of night or of the private, underwater world of the pond.”
