A Frog in the Bog

"A Frog in the Bog" by Karma Wilson is a perennial favorite in children’s literature! With watercolor artwork by Joan Rankin, this colorful, rhyming, rhythmic tale tells the story of a frog who keeps eating insects and grows bigger and bigger, until he realizes the log he is sitting on isn't a log after all, but a hungry alligator! Children will enjoy the repetitive rhyming words as well as the creative way counting is introduced into the story. Excerpted from the book: There's a small, hungry frog sitting on the log in the middle of the bog. He flicks ONE tick off of a stick. He sees TWO fleas in the reeds. He spies THREE flies buzzing in the skies.
