Young children can find out all about how tadpoles grow in this picture book with exciting flaps that follows the complete life cycle of a frog, and shows every fascinating stage. With friendly, read-aloud text, sturdy board book pages, and surprise flaps to lift, this kid's book is the perfect animal life cycle story for young children. This wonderful nature book will entertain and educate preschoolers. They'll love finding out about each life cycle stage, as they follow the pictures, lift the flaps, and listen to the friendly text. Beautifully illustrated, the book starts by showing frogs in a garden--hiding under leaves, sitting on a lily pad, and jumping into a pond with a splash and a plop! Then one mommy frog lays her eggs in frogspawn, and children follow the lift-the-flap story to learn how a frog grows. Close-up photos show the tiny tadpoles hatching, the tadpoles growing legs, then their tails shrivelling up, and finally a little froglet grows into an adult frog. Surprise flaps reveal the key transformations. In addition to the frog life cycle, the book includes interesting facts, such as how to make a safe place for frogs in your garden, how frogs are helpful to plants and the plants they like, how frogs are different from toads, and the amazing variety of frogs found around the world--from the Chinese flying frog and the South American blue poison dart frog to the European agile frog and the corroboree frog from Australia. Perfect for reading aloud, and with stage-by-stage pictures that tell the story, every page is easy to follow, and the combination of exciting photos and charming artwork will hold the interest of the very young.
