Guest Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 I've recently bought a delightful board book: 'Five Speckled Frogs' it has a noise button labelled croak croak It contains a poem about the four frogs jumping off the log. Could be used as a supplement to the five speckled frogs song. It's published by Little Tiger Press. www.littletigerpress.com and retails at £5.99 ISBN 978-1-84506-396-2 Have fun!

Guest Wolfie Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 (edited) If you need any non-fiction, I remember that Dorling Kindersley do a very good book going through the life-cycle - part of the See How it Grows series I think. A bit off the theme I know but there's always The Pig in The Pond for a bit of fun! Our children love it when we turn the tuff spot into a pond with lots of pebbles and weed!

aliamch Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 The Big Wide Mouthed Frog is much loved by our children, a slightly different version is The Wide Mouthed Frog pop up book and also The Icky Sticky Frog. Sorry I can't remember the authors but I did buy them all from Amazon a while ago. Karrie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest HelenW Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 I am doing this topic too, we are using books called growing frogs, teeny weeny tadpole and an usborne books non fiction book on the frog lifecycle. We have put on our table with the tadpoles on a life cycle puzzle and some frogs I downloaded free from sparkle box, with numbers 1-10 on them so they can be sequenced. Its a great topic, the children love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 We are doing froggy things at the moment in Reception and I read a book called "Froggy gets dressed" to the children. ( by Jonathan London) I didn't know it before hand but it has turned out to be a real favourite with the children.. they think it is hilarious!! We have read it twice just today!
