Loading... Oh, No!by Candace Fleming
None. When frog falls into a hole in the jungle, an assortment of animals try to help but end up in the hole themselves. Is the tiger with the wicked grin about to get a multi-animal snack or will another of the jungle's creatures arrive in the nick of time? Cheerful illustrations from Fleming's husband [a:Eric Rohmann|68537|Eric Rohmann|http://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1208539936p2/68537.jpg] are a great complement to the energetic text, which begs to be sung aloud to the "Frog Went a-Courtin'" tune. ( )A fabulously fun collaboration, perfect for reading aloud. The illustrations in this book are stunning, and take up the entire space on each page. Chock full of onomatopoeia and action verbs, it's a fun story to read aloud. Young readers will have to pay extra attention to the illustrations, as some parts of the story are explained only through the pictures.

Young readers will have to pay extra attention to the illustrations, as some parts of the story are explained only through the pictures. There was a big hole in the ground and this frog first fell in. Then animal after animal came to the rescue but one by one they fell into the hole. Eventually the tiger crept over and was going to eat all of them for supper, but the ground shook and he too fell in the hole. A big elephant came to the animals rescue but they left the tiger into the hole. The theme of this book could be about being nice or the golden rule. All of the animals were trying to help one another (as the students should do in the classroom) and the tiger wasn't very nice so he was left alone (or got in trouble). If I were to use this book in the classroom I would probably read it in the first few days of the school year to show that our classroom is a safe place where nobody is a bully. no reviews | add a review
