One little wood frog wakes by a shining spring vernal pool - and lives a whole astonishing year. Follow him from a jelly-clear cluster of eggs to a tadpole with a flicking tail, to a young frog hunting through summer ferns, and at last into the deep quiet of winter, when the cold grows so deep that his body freezes and his heart pauses. until spring warmth wakes him once more. Told in warm, gentle, read-aloud language and woven softly with real wood-frog science, One Little Wood Frog introduces little ones to woodland pools, metamorphosis, and the true wonder of freeze tolerance.
A "Few True Things About Wood Frogs" page at the end shares kid-friendly facts - plus a gentle reminder of how children can help real frogs. Perfect for nature lovers, bedtime, and budding young scientists. Ages 4 to 8.
