Everything you've ever wanted to know about frogs is detailed in clear text and incredible photographs in this wonderful volume.

The beautiful photographs in this book compel one to read it several times over. The text is aimed at the 4th -7th grade market but the pictures will delight and amaze a much wider audience.

The facts are well laid out and organized in such a way as to help students who are writing reports. It is obvious the photographer loves his subject and his comments about his lif...more

I loved this book too! There was so much I didn't know, and there was nothing but interesting facts!!! Frogs that are good parents?! Frogs that have see-through bodies?! Frogs that have teeth?! All toads are frogs?! Frogs that have antifreeze in theri blood?! Gliding frogs?! I loved the centerfold too--what a great way to enjoy frogs!

As strange as it may sound, we're reading this for Circle Time! My little guys are LOVING the book. The pictures are amazing. If I didn't know it's impossible to do, I'd say that Bishop was staging the photos and asking the frogs to pose. There is just enough information to keep it interesting without feeling like you're reading a textbook. We've read many, many books about frogs and this still has new stuff to learn. My 5-year-old has been walking around for days spouting frog facts. The older...more

Bishop, like with his Spiders book, did an excellent job of capturing frogs in motion in his vivid pictures. I found myself gawking at a few of the captivating pictures, like the one of the horned frog who had just swallowed a mouse whole. There really was no order to the book; it was told in a one after the other sort of way. Again, like Spiders, there was a four-page spread in the middle of the book that showed an action sequence of how a frog jumps. Each page was colored; there was no white space whatsoever. It seemed that the background color of the page corresponded with the coloring of the frog. The text was small but bold, and some sentences stood out in larger font and different colors. There was a glossary and an index in the back of the book, and there were two spots offering notes about the author. I liked how the end of the book offered the reader information about how Bishop created the book and captured some of the photographs. The text was concise yet informative.
I gave the book five out of five stars because of the in-your-face pictures and informative text. I enjoyed the source notes at the end as well. I would have liked to have seen a table of contents at the beginning of the book, but I guess the index serves that purpose. The recommended reading level for the book would be for second through fifth grades; the younger grades would have the book read to them. I think all students will be enthralled by the crystal-clear pictures of frogs. The older students, upon reading Bishop’s explanation about the book at the end, will relate to his process of photographing and could be eager to try their hand at nature photography. Two subject areas into which the book could be integrated could be science and math. For a math lesson for the younger grades, students could count the frogs shown in the book. They could make a chart showing the different frogs in the book, and which frogs appear most often. Students could make a compare/contrast chart showing what frogs are found locally versus the ones found in Bishop’s book.

Bishop uses the most vivid images when writing this story. The photos pop off of the page as the colors are very bright and clear. Also, the pictures are very large and zoomed in so that the reader can really get a good look at a close up picture of the various types of frogs. The blur of the plants around the frog make the frogs appear even more clearly. The text in the story is rather large and easy to follow.

This book has won numerous awards, including the Boston Globe-Horn Book Award Honor Book for Nonfiction in 2008, which is an award to “recognize and reward excellence in literature for children and young adults” (www.hbook.com). This text was also honored as "School Library Journal’s" Best Books: 2008, which award tests for “having distinctive voices, singular vision, and/or innovative approaches” (www.schoollibraryjournal.com). "Nic Bishop Frogs" was also recognized as a 2008 Notable Children’s Book by the Association for Library Service to Children, which honors texts that are defined as “worthy of note or notice, important, distinguished, outstanding…. commendable quality, books that exhibit venturesome creativity…and reflect and encourage children's interests in exemplary ways” (www.ala.org). This text was named an Outstanding Science Trade Book for Students in 2008, an award which is based on text accuracy, attractiveness, creativity, detailed graphics, and opportunity for continued exploration and journeys (www.nsta.org).

Nic Bishop is an award-winning author and an experienced nature writer and photographer who has been fascinated by nature photography since the age of nine. He has photographed animals, plants, and landscapes, making nature accessible to the eyes and minds of all ages. Bishop states, “the youngest of children can interpret sophisticated images of nature” (www2.scholastic.com). Bishop has a doctorate in biological science and his experience, research, and exploration of his texts truly make Bishop an expert in his field of nonfiction nature writing. In "Nic Bishop Frogs," Nic Bishop takes the reader on a journey into the world of frogs, from their remarkable body parts and characteristics to their growth process to unique facts about a wide variety of frogs.

"Nic Bishop Frogs" is a text with much authority. The authority within this text is undeniable, as the world-traveled Bishop holds a doctorate in biological sciences and is the son of two biologists. Bishop’s notes at the conclusion of the text, documenting his journey in photographing and researching frogs, from training frogs to jump for flies to exploring ponds and swamps to rearing baby frogs, demonstrate his dedication to the research process. Bishop also credits and thanks the Binder Park Zoo, demonstrating his consultation and research into the zoological scientific field. On his website, Bishop credits his research to three main sources: his biology background, first-hand observation, and academic books (www.nicbishop.com). For books published after 2008, Bishop clearly gives bibliographic references on his website. His authority and research is well-documented.

Along with authority, "Nic Bishop Frogs" also demonstrates accuracy. Clear photographs and captions radiate well-researched content and new facts. A "Kirkus" review states, “the text is a series of happy factlets that, when finished, provide a surprisingly thorough overview of frog physiology and behavior.” The reviewers of "Horn Book" agree, stating “the texts are informative, covering basic anatomical, behavioral, and reproductive facts about frogs” (http://bookwizard.scholastic.com). Clear and close-up photographs illuminate and extend the facts, giving the reader a true picture of the ideas and facts captured within that page’s text. Phrases like “it can survive months and perhaps even years” and “at first the tadpole may feed on small plants” help distinguish theory from fact and further the accuracy of "Nic Bishop Frogs."

This text is appropriate for its intended age range of third through sixth grade. It may even be accessible to younger readers if done as a read aloud. The large amount of text on the page, which is carefully mounted up against the enormous photographs, requires careful reading of the audience. However, the text is made more accessible to the audience with important facts and main ideas on each page highlighted by a larger font size and different color font. This helps readers understand and identify the main idea given by both text and photograph on each given page. However, the text is not organized in any logical fashion, which may make it more difficult to understand. While it starts with where frogs live and their characteristics, readers then read about different frog body parts and specific types of frogs. While hibernation and the life cycle are followed chronologically, there does not seem to be any overall logical order to this text. Readers can read section by section and still understand distinct meanings. "Nic Bishop Frogs" seems more of a fact by fact book that can be read in favorite pieces or interests. Readers may have to be made aware of this organizational structure before reading in order to best understand it.

The literary artistry of this text is large. The world of frogs comes alive as “all kinds of frogs jump, stare, and pose in luminous, close-up photographs that inspire wonder” (www.schoollibraryjournal.com). The National Science Teacher’s Association website exclaims, “unusual facts as well as information concerning life cycles, defense tactics, and body structures will fascinate readers” (www.nsta.org). While organization is not this text’s strongest point, the use of literary devices is, as similes and comparative text help readers connect to the world of frogs. For example, phrases like “see-through eyelids cover them like safety goggles” and “while adult humans have 206 bones, frogs have about 159” help readers of all ages connect and understand frogs using their own experiences and pre-existing knowledge and ideas. Nic Bishop also speaks to the reader in the second person, making the readers feel like he is speaking directly to them with an expert and engaging voice. This can help hook readers and demonstrates clear artistry also.

The attractiveness of this text has been well documented above. The innovative, clear, and captivating photographs alongside facts written in large type and contrasting colors helps spark interest and enthusiasm for learning about frogs. A fold-out page demonstrating the leap of a bullfrog, as well as unusual, unique, and sometimes gross facts and photographs (“a few frogs will even freeze partly solid” and “the usually eat their old skin”), help entice readers and give this text “kid appeal.”

"Nic Bishop Frogs" demands readers’ full attention and creativity as they embark on an adventurous and fact-filled exploration into the wet and wild world of frogs!

Gliding frogs, glass frogs, growling grass frogs-who knew there were so many frogs in the world? Stupendous photographs combine with a genuinely enthusiastic text to open readers' eyes to this lowly amphibian like nothing has before. Gorgeous full-bleed photos present ordinary garden toads and wood frogs with as much affection and admiration as their more exotic counterparts, golden eyes, glistening skin and all captured with incredible clarity. The text is a series of happy factlets that, when finished, provide a surprisingly thorough overview of frog physiology and behavior. In their detail, these tidbits go straight to kids' interests-one African bullfrog downed 17 young cobras! A gliding frog can soar for 50 feet! Tadpoles absorb their tails as food! The beautiful design picks up on the frogs' colors, a boldly indigo text box complementing a dart poison frog and a comfortable brown one, the spadefoot toad. A chatty author's note gives insight into both Bishop's enthusiasm and the painstaking techniques behind the spectacular images; a glossary and index complete the superlative whole. (Nonfiction. 4-8)

This was my absolute favorite of all the non-fiction books that I read for this week. The photographs by Nic Bishop are incredible and the text is excellent. I found myself asking a question at the end of a page, and it was then answered on the next page! This does not often happen so conveniently in most books. An aspect of the book that I loved was that the text on every page is of a decent length, however there is one sentence bolded and in another color (on every page) that gives the main idea of what that whole page describes. It is not a repeated sentence, it is the gist of the text. I was able to share this book with my students and they went back and were able to re-read most of the highlighted/bolded sentences on their own. My higher readers were able to read the whole thing, but they both came away from the story with the same basic ideas. Nic Bishop helped me to differentiate! :) I plan on using this book as a mentor text to talk about main ideas and finding the "gist" in a story. One aspect of the book that made me a little bit disappointed was when I read the back of the book. Nic Bishop fully disclosed how he went about taking these amazing pictures. I guess reading that seemed to take a little bit of magic out of the book for me. However, for any budding photographers, it will show them how incredibly hard you must work to get the perfect shot. A MUST read and look!(less)

I can see how this book dazzles young readers generating connections and building up special frog knowledge with ease; perhaps wanting to study frogs deeper. What a treasure for classrooms - Its tight focus holds me as reader showing me in everyday "layperson" terminology and cool facts of everything "frog". They do not drink. Really? I needed to know this and also how they bereathe...It's through their skin!

Much of the text is narrative and then at the bottom of each page Bishop gives an additional factual lesson - an expository blurb accessible - right there in differing font, something I as reader am relieved to comprehend with ease. He talks directly to me here - he explains: "You can see how it looks as an adult on page 40".

Bishop establishes authority by thanking the Binder Park Zoo, and accuracy in that he tells how he studies frogs and travels to the rainforest, or explores local ponds and swamps to complete his research first hand.He describes in his author's notes in detail how he got the frogs to "pose" describing how he built trust so he could photograph them eating just about anything he dangled in front of them. Bishop presents all information in an icredibly respectful way to the reader - he is amazing at this! Language is well suited for intended audience (early primary) using language my students can quickly understand such as referring to his skin as "see through", rather than some difficult word that might slow down comprehension. Here the reader can focus and conceptualize all this unusual and new content that makes one feel so much more the expert.

The attractive design of the cover invites reader in with a sharp close up of a frog holding some green dinner between his frog lips.
Some basic foundational facts Bishop bolds for the reader which I appreciate, and includes a well designed, clear glossary and index for further reference. These are the sort of "go to items" on frog habitat, eating preferences, and splashy pertinent ideas for frog expert (to be) like how a few frogs actually freeze partly solid!

Already I have way more curiosity about frogs than I did before I picked up this book. Literarry artistry and attractiveness define his work. His photos are amazingly clear and authentic. Imagine what this fantastic and exciting text could do for primary aged kids with voracious appetites for interesting knowledge, who while developing their foundational reading and writing skills can have another first best teacher - Nic Bishop.(less)
