This is a beautiful book! The color photos that fill the pages are vibrant and detailed. The text is a poem on the life of a frog. Because the text is simple and repetitive, with just a few sentences per page, it is good for beginning readers, and yet it is full of rich vocabulary (lunges and gaze and spelunks and ponder). The two page author note in the back points out the differences between anecdotal observations and scientific studies, but it doesn’t undervalue the anecdotes, pointing out that wondering and imagining are what help scientists come up with good questions to investigate. It’s not heavy on the information, but it’s the kind of book to spark curiosity.
