Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Ages 5-8. This volume from the Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science series, first published in 1968, clearly presents basic information about the physical characteristics, evolution, and behavior of frogs. Minor changes make the text more precise and inclusive. A two-page appendix entitled "What do frog eggs feel like?" is a new addition. This section suggests making tapioca and comparing its texture with that of a boiled egg after five minutes, a few hours, and overnight. It fulfills requirements of the series' new format, but seems a bit of a stretch educationally. The most striking change comes in the new illustrations: Fraser's well-composed and beautifully colored acrylic paintings add immeasurably to the overall look of the book, increasing its eye appeal as well as its educational value. A fine choice for primary-grade science collections. Carolyn Phelan

Will not be using...,
This review is from: Why Frogs Are Wet (Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science 2) (Paperback)
This is a great beginning science book about frogs that I would have liked to use in our homeschool. However, the first couple of pages are about the evolution of the frog. It states that the frog has been around for millions of years, before monkeys or cats or people. The next page has pictures showing how the frog evolved from fish. These pages are totally unnecessary to the rest of the text, so it's unfortunate that the author included them. Use caution if you're from a creationist viewpoint.

This review is from: Why Frogs Are Wet (Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science 2) (Paperback)
this is a nice series of non-fiction books for preschoolers to improve their vocabulary. All the pages are full of bright colorful illustrations and their is lots of reading and information. This would be a nice series for a 3rd grader to read, maybe fourth grade. One or two paragraphs per page. I often read these to my preschoolers or just look at the pages with the 1 and 2 year olds. Books have held up well.

This review is from: Why Frogs Are Wet (Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science 2) (Paperback)
Great book. My son is 4 and loves this book. It is not only interesting but educational. We originally saw this book in my daugter's first grade classroom as a choice for their free reading time. So obviously, this is a good, educational book. It talks about the life cycle of the frog( tadpole,pollywog,...). It also has great pictures of different kinds of frogs that are a great addition to the rest of this book. We have purchased several of this series and have been happy with all of them.
