Tuesday: A Caldecott Award Winner

This is such a beautifully illustrated book, with no words included. Honestly, the images are so expressive I don’t think words are necessary.

I used this in a first grade classroom to do a retell/narration activity since this book had no words and the kids loved it! They found the book intriguing and silly and each student noticed different things in the illustrations that led them to develop their own conclusions. I also think this book would be a great mentor text for a lesson on inferring, maybe for third graders.

I love this book and use it all the time with my clients! The pictures are beautiful and show an entertaining narrative with a clear beginning, middle with several episodes, and ending. Kids really enjoy it, and they don't even know they're doing "work" when I ask them to look at the pictures and tell the story in their own words. Great for collecting a language sample or just reading for fun.

Love the pictures, I read this a lot as a child and bought copy for friends with a young child.

I love this picture book!!! I used to use it as a writing assignment with my fifth graders where they had to tell the story from a character’s POV. Since there are almost no words, only pictures, it lets the mind make up the story. Great for all ages!This is one of my favorite children’s books ever!!!I decorated my son’s nursery in frogs, and I used the pictures from this book to frame and use as artwork in his room. This one holds a special place in my heart.

Good book.

Bought 2 books and both arrived damaged. Too bad since this book is great. This review reflects the condition of the book, not the story itself. My dad "read" this book to me as a little girl. We loved changing the story each time and looking for hidden objects. Great book to use a kid's imagination.

This was my daughter's favorite book some 25 years ago. I gifted this book to some friends expecting their first child. The conversations my daughter and I had through this book was everything to me.
