Frog Vs Toad | 
pickNominated for the 2024 Washington Children's Choice Picture Book Award, Frog vs. Toad is an easy to follow demonstration of how frogs differ from toads. It might lead to some Venn diagrams and discussion of differentiation and adaptations. Do not expect back matter with more information. It's not like Frog and Toad. There will be mud. I might read this to my 5th graders just before they go to middle school...
Singout Do you think the distinctions would apply in England as well as North America? (Assuming you‘re from NA!) 2y
mandarchy @Singout That's a good question. The science says yes - all toads are frogs and not all frogs are toads. The book may be more about how WE treat each other as an allegory. The author did not cite his sources or suggest that the differences he used were based in science. Ironically, upon investigation, he went to Surrey Institute of Art & Design and lives in Brighton so he must be British. 2y
Singout Thank you! Always looking for good stuff for my niece and nephew. 2y
