'Caldecott Honor-winning team Steve Jenkins and Robin Page explore form, color, and pattern, and capture the very unique nature of frogs in this brilliantly illustrated picture book. End matter includes an overview of the featured frogs with information about their size, diet, and range (regrettably, the team’s usual visual scale indications are replaced simply by text measurements) and a list of books and websites for more information. Nonfiction picture book explores the form, color, pattern, and nature of frogs. Cut-paper collage art tackles its subjects from a variety of perspectives, including some dramatic face-to-face views.
There are a few confusing spots in the text (“Frogs blink, but they never close their eyes”), but overall it’s a workmanlike overview of the order and a quick intro to some fascinating species, some of which seem like monsters of sci-fi or ancient mythology (the Surinam toad, whose tadpoles hatch out of her back, or the Darwin’s frog, who releases froglets from his mouth). Spreads tackle topics ranging from “What is a frog?” and “Frog or toad?” (answer: toads are, in fact, just one kind of frog) to the fascinating frog life cycle and then to “What do frogs eat?” and “Frog defenses” each opening offers, in familiar format, a variety of spot art providing different relevant examples and explanations.
