How does a little blob floating in jelly turn into a hopping, croaking frog? This inventive information book, specially written for little children and with interactive holes, is perfect for a first introduction to the wonders of nature.
Introducing Five Little Speckled Frogs, an adorable counting-down book based on the beloved rhyme. This tactile book offers plenty for young children to look at and explore, helping in their early learning!
Even the youngest children love to solve clues and crack mysteries; it’s not only entertaining but mentally stimulating, too. This charming rhymed picture book for toddlers is like a playful little game, and every page will have them guessing just where Little Frog might be. Kids will love putting together the pieces and figuring out the answer. As frog happily hops from place to place, each simple, catchy verse and colorfully illustrated spread reveals a little more about his location. There’s a man with a floppy hat (a scarecrow); a patch of mud where someone likes to play (an adorable pig in his sty), a sleepy cow eating grass and hay; and a big red building with X’s on the door (a barn). Where is it? A farm, of course! Coming up in future seasons: Where Are You, Little Bird?
"With magical, concise and perceptive poems, Newbery-Honor winning author Joyce Sidman captures the life of a tree frog in an intimate and moving way. A master of the science note, her fascinating sidebars help bind the twin poems together and ground our perspective. We learn how treefrogs have sticky toe pads, how they still themselves when in danger, how they can change from green to gray to camouflage themselves - even how they eat their own skins, which is full of nutrients. The narrator's connection with this small creature brings solace, comfort, and a sense of mystery"--
Charming and pretty Biddy Forrester lives in China with her parents, medical missionaries who bring healing to the bodies and souls of the Chinese. Because of the poor climate condition, Biddy has to leave China and return to England with only one Friend, the Lord Jesus, and with a little green frog, her most valuable and cherished possession. Biddy knows the meaning of a surrendered life—and lives it! She wants always to please God, to trust Him, to walk with Him, to give Him her all. She brings warmth and light to a cold, dark England, witnessing, with her childish simplicity, everywhere she goes. In simple faith she asks God for the money for a hospital which her father needs in China. Then she puts her faith to work, giving her all to the Lord, even her little green frog. Her radiant testimony wins many hearts to Jesus, and brings in all the money needed for the hospital. The Little Green Frog displays the power of prayer, and the price and purpose of true Christianity. A wonderfully wholesome book.
It's Little Frog's first autumn, and she doesn't like it one bit. It is not the green world she loves so much, but something scarier and ominous, filled with red and gold and yellow. And noise! Whirrrrr. Chirrrrr. Barooooooom.
