From Tadpole to Frog: An Illustrated Nonfiction Book About Metamorphosis for Kids (Ages 4-8) (Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science 1)

Description

Read and find out about how a tadpole loses its fishy tail and gills and becomes a frog in this colorfully illustrated nonfiction picture book. Female frogs lay eggs in the water, but what hatches isn't a frog yet—it's a tadpole. Tadpoles are like tiny fish that breathe underwater through gills. As the tadpole gets older, it loses its fishy tale and its gills and grows legs and develops lungs. This picture book shows the incredible metamorphosis that occurs as a tadpole becomes a frog. This is a clear and appealing science book for early elementary age kids, both at home and in the classroom. It includes a find out more section with an illustrated guide to identify different frog species and a map showing where bull frogs can be found throughout the United States. This is a Level 1 Let's-Read-and-Find-Out, which means the book explores introductory concepts perfect for children in the primary grades.

Review: Wonderful introduction to the metamorphosis of a tadpole - Life is indeed miraculous and beautiful and for little ones who are just beginning to learn about the wonders of metamorphosis in nature, this is an excellent introduction. The simple yet informative text by Wendy Pfeffer is enhanced by the beautiful, subtle hues in the watercolor illustrations of Holly Keller. My 6.5-year-old loved reading about the jelly-coated frogs' eggs, which in turn hatch into tadpoles, and of the amazing transformation that changes the tadpoles into frogs. This fun and educational Let's Read And Find Out Science Series is highly recommended for preschool - early elementary aged kids. Review: Love this book! - I ordered this book as well as the actual Tadpole to Frog kit. This book helped to teach my kids what changes were going to occur with their tadpole. The book is very easy to understand for younger children and the illustrations are great as well. I highly recommend this book. ​
