This frog-growing adventure begins when a little girl brings home frog spawn from a pond in order to watch some real frogs grow. Over the next few days she observes the ¡°gray jelly stuff¡± transform itself into tadpoles, then not-quite-frogs and finally ¨C frogs! By the end of the story the little girl has overcome her initial reaction to frog spawn (¡°Yuck!¡±) and looks forward to growing more frogs next year. Includes many fascinating facts about frogs, labeled ¡°froggy things,¡± and serves as a practical how-to manual for hatching frogs. |
