From the Publisher
"Kids will be intrigued by the full-color, close-up photos showing frog eggs, water-dwelling tadpoles, and the progression to air-breathing frogs. New readers will appreciate the simple sentences describing what to look for in each picture as the transformation unfolds. This is a slight but engaging presentation." --The Horn Book Guide

A part of the "Start to Finish: Nature's Cycles" series, this colorful book traces the growth of frogs. Each page of brief text represents one of ten chapters which are listed in the Table of Contents. The text is found on the left and a colorful full-page, color photograph illustrating the step is on the right. Young beginning readers will be able to follow clearly a frog's growth as it is hatches from an egg and turns into a tadpole. The reader follows as the tadpole, grows, eats, swims, and becomes a frog. Words that appear in bold are found in a Glossary at the end. An index is also included for easy reference. This short book provides a valuable and enjoyable reference for young readers in kindergarten or early primary grades but may be enjoyed by preschoolers as well. Reviewer: Shirley Nelson
