This book is pretty easy to read. The print is huge, there are just a few words on each page, and it has repetitive phrases. I had to help Little Miss, who just started Kindergarten, with some words, and some she sounded out herself. But she recognized a few of the words the next time around and loved to feel like she was reading herself.
The subject was well done. It showed, with interesting photographs, the gradual transformation a tadpole goes through, starting at the egg and ending at a full grown frog laying new eggs.
Part of an entire series of bilingual books called "Science Emergent Readers" from Scholastic. Stunning photographs and extremely basic text in both Spanish and English re: the development cycle of frogs make this an excellent addition to content-enriched biology/science units.
PreK-1 The kids loved this book about frogs and it meets the science standard as well. I am attaching a link that has a week long unit to do with this book and others like it. http://www.successlink.org/GTI/lesson...
