The Wide-Mouthed Frog: A Pop-Up Book
In this innovative counting book, die-cut circular windows create a magical effect as Toby the Turtle's balloons "disappear" one by one, popped by pesky birds. Even when Toby picks up the pace with in-line skates, a motorcycle, and other speedy modes of transportation, he just can't outrace the birds' pointy beaks. Extra-shiny balloons on the cover, artwork featu...more

I thought I would start keeping track of the books I've read with my four year old, Dominic that we love reading together.
I am a passionate reader and it seems to be contagious... it's spread though-out the house. It starts slow little things here and there…my husband sees me reading a book with a smile. But the outbreak is bad when it comes to the younger members of the house hold…maybe its genetic?

"I'm a wide-mouthed frog, and I eat flies!" said the wide-mouthed pop-up frog, sticking out his tongue. And he's curious to know what other animals eat, too. But the wide-mouthed frog must think fast when he comes across a wide-mouthed-frog-eating alligator! After reading this fun pop-up book, I had requests for "again!"
From my experience, toddlers seem to really enjoy this book a lot. The pop-up details are fun for children but it's best to have adults read this one aloud... it's easy for children to tear the pages since they are pop-up. Very cute and easy to comprehend for young children.

This sturdy pop-up book is sure to please with its "splashy" ending! The pages can double as "puppets" as the reader gently moves the pages slightly open and closed and flips back and forth between characters. Best read-aloud choice of this folktale favorite.
Great for read-alouds...stretching your mouth as wide as it can go when the frog asks "What Do You Eat?"...until he comes to the alligator, it is a different story all together.
Used for "Frog Fever" Family Storytime-May, 2010.

CLASSSIC! Gotta have, gotta read, gotta perform! My personal favorite of all Faulkner's stories. Great for animals, water, eating, or just plain scared! themes. Toddlers, preschoolers, school-age, adults. All love this book.
This is a great book for kids because it is a pop-up book, which is so engaging for the kids. Also, my class made a paper bag puppet of a frog with a big tongue that sticks out just like the book...a lot of fun!
My Preschool Playgroup loved this one during story-time because of the pop-out bits. In my opinion, Rex Schneider's version is funnier. But, it's also longer---probably better for the K-2 crowd.
This is a GREAT book to read aloud to preschoolers. The pop-ups do their own thing when they open the book and they are easy to see and not too delicate. When I did storytellng events for the 2-5 year old crowd, this made them howl every time.
Slightly open and close the books just a little when each character speaks -- the pop-up is focused on the mouth and it makes the character "talk".

Funny read aloud book starting with a frog who greets other pond animals with his large pop-out mouth, "I eat flies! What do you eat?" The surprise ending is from a very old joke.
This is another book I would use in scicne. It shows food chains in a very vague way, but the illustrations and the fact that it is a pop-up book is fun for the kids.
Cute pop-up book that shows different animals and what they eat. The frog asks a lot of animals what they enjoy eating and then asks an alligator... uh oh!
Fun! frog theme, f theme. Pop-up book is very fun for children. Suspenseful.. what will happen to the frog?
'Loved this book. Thanks, Adrienne, for mentioning in you blog. 'Not sure if I'd circulate it onc ewe buy it.
A very brief retelling, but Simeon loves the short story, complete with silly voices by Daddy. 9 months
This is the best pop up book! What fun illustrations to read to one child or a whole group!
Very cute story! The kids love it and we keep reading it over and over again. :)
Great book for interacting with children at home and in the classroom
Toddlers, Pre-K, print motivation, narratives skills, repetition, pop-up-book.
This is a favorite book of all my preschool classes!
The kids love this giant pop up book.
Great for storytime!
Great funny for younger ages.
This was my daughter's favorite book. She would ask me to read it over and over again. Fond memories.
Great Pop Up book!
Pop-up book.
Loved it!
Tehehe!
I've used this book several times. Sometimes I have to cut down a little on the text, but the pop-ups are hysterical and the kids love it.
The wide-mouthed frog is searching for flies to eat when he encounters a bird, a mouse, and then an alligator. He introduces himself to each, then asks what they like to eat. The bird likes worms, the mouse likes seeds, and the alligator likes...wide-mouthed frogs.
