In simple, poetic text and vibrant illustrations, this nonfiction picture book explores the life cycle of the leopard frog.

This book will have you looking in ditches and standing water to see if you can spot frog eggs. It's a great book for learning about the life cycle of frogs. From egg to tadpole to adult frog. From spring to summer to fall to winter, this book covers it all. As always, Rick Chrustowski's detailed artwork enhances the text to make it even more accessible for young readers.
