Little Frog and the Spring Polliwogs

The feisty young heroine of Little Frog and the Scary Autumn Thing is back with a new adventure–being a big sister! Little Frog is no longer the littlest frog. Some new family members–the spring polliwogs–are so much trouble for the former Only Frog, and Little Frog is all out of sorts. But when that polliwog trouble becomes nothing compared to a real threat—boys with nets!–Little Frog has to remember all that she’s been taught in order to save the tadpoles from disaster. This charmer of a sequel is by multi-award winning author Jane Yolen, author of On Bird Hill, Owl Moon and the How Do Dinosaurs…? books. The wonderful spring palette and adorable pictures are by illustrator of the first Little Frog, Ellen Shi. About the LITTLE FROG Series Fear comes in many shapes and sizes. Seasons change. Families change. And change can be a scary thing for a little mind exploring the complicated emotions of facing the unknown. With gentle sweetness, Little Frog makes them laugh and breathe a sigh of relief through life’s natural cycles. Little Frog shows young children they can muster up courage in the face of all things strange and new. With a little love, patience, and acceptance, big fears can be turned into bigger discoveries. Praise for LITTLE FROG “Vivid autumn foliage is generally considered to be a thing of beauty, but those unfamiliar colors spell danger to a young frog. Yolen doesn’t rush Little Frog’s emotional turnaround. Shi’s inviting mixed-media landscapes make it clear that the amphibian is never in danger…reasoned reactions to her own nervousness hint at ways readers might tackle their own fears.” – PUBLISHER’S WEEKLY “This book is great for new/older siblings. It is cute and relatable. – GOODREADS
