But you learn a lot about frogs - because it is the pond life setting once the prince has been turned into a frog. As a read aloud it is ideal because you need to talk like Pin (who can't say certain sounds with a new frog mouth) I had children who literally rolled on the carpet laughing.Carrie Gelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08416480940951200461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2318945445088870128.post-18472926373666115592013-07-15T19:36:28.652-04:002013-07-15T19:36:28.652-04:00Hi Carrie,
I love frogs too! I used to catch frog...Hi Carrie,<br />I love frogs too! I used to catch frogs in my grandparents' pond when I was little. My grandfather made me a little fishing pole out of a long stick, yarn and a piece of red felt. My grandfather taught me how to bob the red felt around in front of the frog's face until it snapped at it. I used to get such a kick out of it because the frogs would sit so still and then SNAP! Maybe it was mean to trick the frogs into thinking they were getting lunch, but as a six year old I loved catching and releasing them!<br />I haven't heard of The Prince of the Pond, but I loved Mogo the Third Warthog and The Smile, also by Napoli. I've read Mogo out loud a couple of times and kids loved it, so I should certainly check out your recommendation!Nicole L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16803189343078878170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2318945445088870128.post-36187149374553276482013-07-15T15:11:18.550-04:002013-07-15T15:11:18.550-04:00I just cannot get past that gorgeous cover of AN A...I just cannot get past that gorgeous cover of AN Army of Frogs without wanting that book - I don't even have any idea what it is about but my imagination is on high speed contemplating. Off to Goodreads to find out! Looking forward to your review next week. When we were away this past week, we explored a little lake and found hundreds and hundreds of tadpoles - with just back legs sprouting. My children were fascinated - as was I! I have a little thing for Frog books (http://thereisabookforthat.com/2011/03/26/five-fantastic-fictional-mostly-frogs/) And one of my favourite chapter books is The Prince of the Pond by Donna Jo Napoli. Have you read it? An amazingly funny and interesting read aloud!Carrie Gelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08416480940951200461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2318945445088870128.post-91640033361969541642013-07-15T13:28:16.780-04:002013-07-15T13:28:16.780-04:00I cant wait to see the Fairy tale comics too.
