Reviews

"The life cycle of a frog is shown with illustrations and minimal words in this picture book... visually impressive." Kirkus Reviews -- Kirkus Reviews * 11/15/16 *
"Rich, graphic-style illustrations are the backbone of Hurleys latest title. In the same vein as Nest and Hop, this selection is based on the life cycle and behaviors of a frog, spanning the time between tadpole and adulthood. Young nature lovers will enjoy learning about the life cycle of a frog through this lively and engaging picture book.' - School Library Journal -- School Library Journal * January 2017 *
"In this handsome picture book, Hurley leads viewers through the life cycle of a frog, one double-page image at a time. Hurleys strong sense of design is evident in the digital artwork, which uses flat, subtle colors and simplified forms to create pictures that show up very effectively from a distance. A good choice for group sharing and discussion." Booklist -- Booklist * December 15, 2016 *
