A big wide-mouthed frog sets off to see the world - or at least Australia. He meets lots of animals and asks them what they like to eat. Eventually, he meets a crocodile that eats wide mouthed frogs, but luckily he escapes.

This book will be fun simply because I want to act as the big wide-mouthed frog. Especially near the end. It makes me smile and I think I could get the children to smile, too. And a couple of ways that I could try to work the book, too, for interest's sake. Good for a frog theme.
3/18/10 Great beginning book for the storytime. Both groups loved it. Well, I know the first did. It was so loud in the second group, I think half the group missed it, until the end.

This is a variation on an old tale - translated into many many languages - and since I'm having trouble finding the 1001- version this is a very appropriate substitute.
Littlies will enjoy the repetition and the anticipation of being able to repeat some of the lines with you. Doesn't hurt to learn to beware of crocodiles either!

This picture book follows the wide-mouthed frog as it comes to different animals. The repetition and colorful pictures help to support developing readers. The humor within the story also helps to keep the reader engaged.
This book is very cute with an interesting point to it. I wonder what the author was thinking when she wrote this story. Kids really enjoyed this book.
One of my all time favorite read alouds. Kids love this book and so does the grown ups reading to them .
One of my all-time favorite read-alouds.
I and LOVE love that wide mouth frog
Big talk can lead to a lot of problems
Cute story! Fun way to teach younger children about different animals. You could also use this book to talk about making friends.
The big wide-mouthed frog goes around asking different animals what they eat...but he may not always like the answer.
The illustrations are collage, gouache and watercolor.

My daughter and I both liked this book. It was almost interactive in the sense we could play along with the animals and the fly.
For a supposedly funny book, the big joke at the end is not that funny. Still, the kids enjoyed during storyhour.
A very clever and fun picture book - fun to read aloud and act out.
Great addition to my frog book collection
