5.0 out of 5 stars Kids will beg to hear this book read out loud., May 13, 2004

I am a preschool teacher and mother of 4. My 2 year-old classroom loves this book. It flows wonderfully read out loud. I have adapted the story using animal props and puppets. The kids love it. It is a great book to begin teaching science concepts such as the food chains and habitats. It makes a great addition to theme related activities involving frogs / pond life. If I have to have only one book with me at circle time this one is the one I know will grab the childrens' attention and hold it for multiple readings. A wonderful gift and a must own for every parent and/or teacher.

5.0 out of 5 stars A delightful book, full of fun and whimsical illustrations!!, August 14, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Icky Sticky Frog (Hardcover)

Dawn Bently and Salina Yoon have teamed up to create a wonderful children's book! I have read this book to my kindergarten class and they loved it, asking to read it again and again! The predictable text and colorful illustrations make it easy to comprehend, and do guided and shared reading activities! The actual "sticky tongue" on the cover was a clever addition to draw children into the book! I have made it a part of my permanent spring reading collection!

5.0 out of 5 stars A fun book for kids!, April 3, 2000

This review is from: The Icky Sticky Frog (Hardcover)

Although the story doesn't send an important message, it is silly and fun, and the words flow fairly well. The book illustrations are fun and the ending has an unexpected twist. The book is fun on its own, but the "icky sticky" tongue on the front of the book sends my kids (and me) into hysterics. (Tip: Be sure to read the cleaning instructions on the back of the book to keep the tongue sticky.) My kids (9 months and 2 1/2 years) love this book! I have bought copies for other children to share the fun.
