(Illustration) This book talks about how tadpoles turn into frogs. Something I enjoyed about this book was that it was interactive, and each page had a pop out. This is something that would entertain children as well, and they would get to learn about the process frogs go through to become frogs. This is a good illustrated book because the pictures literally jump out off the pages (on one page it even looks like a frog is doing a jump). The pictures will keep them engaged, and they can learn show more something new. show less

Short, small book with basic explanation of the life cycle of a frog with pleasant, but not fancy, pop-up illustrations. Kindergartners loved turning the pages and then moving the pages to see tadpoles and frogs move.

Summary:
This book is a twist to the Noah's Ark story in the Bible. Noah gathers two of every animals into the ark. Everything is peaceful until the elephants becomes restless and began to move around and starts to rock the book. Just as the boat capsizes Noah comes up an idea to make the elephants a sleeping hammock so they can sleep in peace.

Personal Reaction:
I loved this book, the illustrations are beautiful and realistic. It made me think about my sunday school class as a little girl show more reading Noah's Ark.

Extensions:
1. Water play with boats and animals

A fun picture book with bunnies counting and searching for other things in the story.
