Am I a Frog?

Nonfiction for new readers! Egg to tadpole to frog. A Level TK science book for first graders to read on their own!

 
You started in an egg.
You hatched.
You ate.
You grew.
 
A tadpole swims, breathes, eats, rests, climbs, and grows into a frog . . . when he jumps up and catches a dragonfly. An elegant, beautifully illustrated life cycle book by a highly regarded author and illustrator of books for young children.
 
A chart in the back of the book shows nine stages of the frog’s development.
 
Level copy to come.
 
The books in the award-winning I Like to Read series are especially created for new readers and are leveled using Fountas & Pinnell standards. Acclaimed author-illustrators—including winners of Caldecott, Theodor Seuss Geisel, and Coretta Scott King honors—create original, high-quality illustrations that support comprehension of simple text and are fun for kids to read again and again with their parents, teachers, or on their own!
Lizzy Rockwell has illustrated more than thirty children's books, including How Do You Feel?, A Mammal Is an Animal, Plants Feed Me,  A Bird Is a Bird, and I Love Insects with Holiday House. The daughter of highly acclaimed children's book author and illustrator Anne Rockwell and art director and illustrator Harlow Rockwell, Lizzy continues their legacy. She lives in Connecticut.
