The feisty young heroine of Little Frog and the Scary Autumn Thing is
back with a new adventure--being a big sister!
Little Frog is no longer the littlest frog. Some new family members--the
spring polliwogs--are so much trouble for the former "Only Frog," and
Little Frog is all out of sorts. But when that polliwog trouble becomes
nothing compared to a real threat---boys with nets!--Little Frog has to
remember all that she's been taught in order to save the tadpoles from
disaster.
This charmer of a sequel is by multi-award winning author Jane
Yolen, author of On Bird Hill, Owl Moon and the How Do
Dinosaurs...? books. The wonderful spring palette and adorable pictures
are by illustrator of the first Little Frog, Ellen Shi.
About the LITTLE FROG Series
Fear comes in many shapes and sizes.
Seasons change.
Families change.
And change can be a scary thing for a little mind exploring the
complicated emotions of facing the unknown. With gentle sweetness,
Little Frog makes them laugh and breathe a sigh of relief through life's
natural cycles. Little Frog shows young children they can muster up
courage in the face of all things strange and new.
With a little love, patience, and acceptance, big fears can be turned
into bigger discoveries.
Praise for LITTLE FROG
"Vivid autumn foliage is generally considered to be a thing of beauty,
but those unfamiliar colors spell danger to a young frog. Yolen doesn't
rush Little Frog's emotional turnaround. Shi's inviting mixed-media
landscapes make it clear that the amphibian is never in
danger...reasoned reactions to her own nervousness hint at ways readers
might tackle their own fears." -- PUBLISHER'S WEEKLY
"This book is great for new/older siblings. It is cute and relatable."
