Beyond adequate for preschool story programs this book offers information and a beautiful presentation to young readers/listeners. Facts are presented in story form accompanied by attractive two-page illustrated spreads. While table manners are not fully developed by frogs, they know how to live life in the pond. Children may be surprised by both good and negative relationships with other animals as life in the pond can be dangerous.
Illustrations are descriptive and attractive in shape and color. The almost circular drawings complete with white space are welcome breaks from all the dark backgrounds. A page of bullfrog facts and references is helpful but this is not a book for school projects. Recommended for preschools and public libraries who collect science picture books.
