A frog’s life begins as a cluster of eggs. The jelly protects the growing embryo. When the embryo is large enough, it hatches into a tadpole. The tadpole grows its back legs first and then its front legs. Their gills eventually disappear and are replaced with lungs. At this time, the frog is ready to leave the pond. Frogs hibernate during winter. Frogs are amphibians, which means “two lives”, one in the water and one on land.
Gail Gibbon’s updated book relates the most recent information on the life of a frog. Both her illustration and writing are clear and informative. She includes other information about frogs, instructions for telling the difference between frogs and toads. Each elementary library should have one.
