How to tadpoles turn into frogs What is the biggest frog in the world How do frogs catch flies In this book you'll find the answers and lots more about the wonderful world of frogs. Usborne Beginners are colourful information books for children beginning to read on their own.
'This Usborne book... is fantastic and our favourite. Solid information broken down into a different category in each spread. It's not an easy reader, some of the 'chapter' headings seem a little extraneous, but it's a very meaty book with lots of facts a child can dig into' - Examiner; 'No Key Stage 1 classroom should be without the whole set' - The Bookseller; 'Good quality non-fiction for this age group is a real boon and the Usborne Beginners is an excellent series. With its easy reading text, it is ideal for those learning to read who enjoy non-fiction books' - Parents in Touch; 'I can't praise Usborne enough for introducing [internet links] to many of their non-fiction books as it really helps children retain information' - Adventures in Home Schooling; 'The Usborne Beginners series is a beautiful fit for newly independent readers' - Rhino Reads
Growing up on the Wirral and in Germany, Anna wrote plays about talking animals, and stories about naughty children, and drew on every available surface. After school, she did an Art Foundation course, then a degree in German Literature & Philosophy at Oxford University. In 1998 she found her perfect job at Usborne in London, writing about everything from curious penguins to trips to the Moon.
