The Frog Book by Steve Jenkins and Robin Page will interest both casual browsers and and beginning researchers alike. Children k-3 will find fascinating facts on every page, and like peanuts, readers and listeners will gobble them up. Jenkins’ characteristic cut paper collage illustrate this nonfiction work. Careful thought went into the cover’s bold design, back dust jacket, illustrated front flap, and marbled endpapers. The table at the end directs beginning researchers to the page where a specific frog is found, along with a chart with body length, diet, and range. Each double page spread has a uniting theme in bold face such as “What do frogs eat?” and “It’s all about the eggs.” Highly recommended for Cream of the Crop by Margy Soule, Coffin Elementary School, Brunswick, Maine
