"A frog's life" is much more than a paperback book about the lives and habits of frogs. The author carefully explains answers to many questions children might have about frogs and toads with helpful illustrations and vocabulary banks. Also included are a story of a princess who kisses a frog, coloring pages, an explorer's kit and even a quiz! You will learn that toads have short tongues and no teeth while frogs have long, sticky tongues and teeth. How frogs eat, survive, and are seen in ancient "A frog's life" is much more than a paperback book about the lives and habits of frogs.

How frogs eat, survive, and are seen in ancient and popular culture and cuisine are fascinating topics for children of all ages. Thanks for the win of this charming book. My only suggestion is to consider making a shorter "I -Can-Read-Version" that younger children can read alone as the pages of this book are packed with information and beyond the reading level of the youngest reader.

this is definitely the best you have done Evelyn. Educational, informative and enjoyable. i have learned more about frogs in this book than I have learned in the past 70 years. I am sure it will be enjoyed by a wide age group. Looking forward to the next book which has a lot to live up to. Trevor and Jacqui in Portugal
