This book was helpful telling the story of how the tadpole changes to a frog

From Tadpole to Frog is a great learning experience for little ones. The service from Amazon is great. I would recommend this book for any child, 4-. That is the only place I purchase books anymore.Dana Hodges

Great teaching tool for kids. They pretend to be tadpoles turning into frogs. My 3 and 5 year old loved it. I loved that it gave facts and was easy for the kids to remember and understand.

The book, in any case, says the following about frog reproduction:At night you hear "Ba-ra-rooom. The males are callingto their mates.The female hear the call.The male hugs his mate. Nothing objectionable in my opinion; although I should note above that there is a brief mention of reproduction. Thousands of softjelly-covered eggs cling together in the cool water.The artwork shows the frogs hugging, and neither art nor wordage was inappropriate or graphic, in my opinion. Certainly my children didn't think anything of it.The AR reading level is given as 1.6 which means this is a book for a child in the second half of the first grade. More difficult words include: hibernate, thousands, whistle, creatures, stretching, fertilizes, speckled, and capture. The color runs from edge to edge.

He fertilizes her eggs asshe lays them in the water. Good artwork on every page. As a Stage One book "From Tadpole to Frog" uses simple sentences and concepts that are appropriate for toddlers, preschoolers, and young children up to about 8 or 9 years of age.Besides a description of the Bullfrog lifecycle, and the 'where Bullfrogs can be found' map, there are pictures with brief descriptions of 5 other frogs, including the Leopard, Pickerel, Wood, Spring Peeper, and Gray Tree frogs.Four Stars. The Bullfrog is interesting as even the tadpoles hibernate for one year. Okay Read-aloud. Words they might not be familiar with are: mate, female, male, breathe, gills, and cling. [I mention this as some parents have concerns and have told me they appreciate such notes].

This is a nice book with attractive artwork that describes the two-year life cycle of the American Bullfrog. ba-ra-rooom.". ba-ra-room. While professionally assessed, this mom thinks quite a few first graders will need some help because of the vocabulary.

I highly reccommend any and all of the "lets find out" books. Excellent teaching tools which hold a child's interest.
