A curious frog goes a bit too far when querying his neighbors about their eating habits. "I'm a wide-mouthed frog and I eat flies," he announces. Each spread features a different animal describing its meal of choice, including a blue-feathered bird (worms and slugs), a furry brown mouse (seeds and berries) and, finally a big, green alligator. The creatures are depicted in sunny colors and and show off uncomplicated but large, well-constructed pop-up beaks, whiskers and snouts. (This summary was adapted from www.amazon.com).

This book would be great for a kindergarten unit on animals. This book describes and shows what the animals look like, where they live, and what they eat.

This book has great pictures and every turn of the page gives you a new surprise.
