Her parents did not want her to go to school, but she rushed off. At school she chased a fly through different rooms and down the street to a pond. When she landed in the water she woke up and remembered frogs should be careful when napping on a log. Personal Reaction: This book took me by surprise. I thought it was about a little girl that was sick and wanted to act like a frog. When I read the last page I couldn't help but to giggle. Classroom Extensions: 1. The class can make paper bag frogs while learning about their habitat. 2. The class can each share their morning routines and see how many are similar and point out how we are all different even if it is just one small detail. Summery: The main character, Wilma, wakes up one lovely morning as a frog! She then proceeds to go to school and wreak havoc on the classroom and all the students! She then leaves the school, finding her real home in a nearby pond while chasing a fly. Personal Reflection: I absolutely loved this book, and all the illustrations. The vivid colors really make the pictures "hop" off the page! Classroom Extension: You could do a whole section on frogs, and write concrete poem in the shape of frog. Or, you might a field day, and go to a local lake or pond and catch frogs and talk about their environment and their diets. no reviews | add a review
