Frogs











Frog Knows Best
by Foster and Erickson with illustrations by Kerri Gifford

T.J. frog notices a log, as he is sitting by the bog. Then along comes a dog and a hog jogging around the bog. Frog warns them not to jog by the bog, but they ignore him and continue jogging. Hog thinks that she knows more about the bog than frog. All of a sudden, it gets foggy by the bog. Frog warns dog and hog not to jog in the fog, but once again, hog tells him that she knows best and continues to jog. Suddenly, dog and hog fall into the bog. Frog was right. They both climb onto the log, but frog warns them not to. What do you think will happen with dog and hog? What will the log turn out to be? Is frog right? Should they have listened to him all along?

The Croaky Pokey
by Ethan Long

Have you ever done the Hokey Pokey? Well, this is the Croaky Pokey, so you will have an idea of what is going on. You start by putting your right hand in and out, shaking it around, but then don’t forget to hop the Croaky Pokey as you chase those flies around. You will have to see whether the frog can successfully catch the fly he is chasing around while doing the Croaky Pokey. Will any of the animals be able to catch the fly? Who ends up catching that pesky fly? Are the animals happy about it?
















Leap Back Home to Me
by Lauren Thompson and illustrated by Matthew Cordell

A little frog is ready to do some leaping. He leaps over the clover, the daisies, the creek, and splashing beaver, but his mother is always ready for him to leap back home to her. She also has a fun activity for him when he comes leaping home. Every time the little frog leaps, are his leaps getting bigger or smaller? Who is always waiting for him to come back, though? What is the last thing that his mama is ready to give him when he gets home? Does your mother give you the same thing when you get home?
