In an unusual photo essay, Sayre has photographed one male green frog and written short rhyming sentences recounting her observations of him in his natural pond environment. The photographs are crisp and clear, the simple text engaging, making this a great early science book to share with a toddler, or to use in a preschool story hour. The author's note about the difference between observing an individual frog (as she has done) and a scientific study of frogs is eye-opening, and may serve as a springboard for a first discussion with children about scientific methods. (Ages 2-6)

From award-winning author and photographer April Pulley Sayre comes a stunning photographic look at the fascinating lives of frogs.

A frog is a being.
It is watching.
It is seeing…

Frogs are amazing creatures, and this book offers young readers an up-close and revealing peek at their everyday lives. Follow them from egg to tadpole to froglet crawling up onto land for the first time. Watch them resting on a favorite log, searching for food, and leaping through the air. And see how frogs are unique, individual beings with rich lives all their own in the wild.
