I've been trying to review Nic Bishop Frogs since my Cybil's copy arrived from the publisher. Isn't the cover awesome? However, my 7-year old absconded with it and refuses to give it back. How's that for a ringing endorsement?Once he falls asleep (yes, he's been taking it to bed), I will pry it from his hot little hands and write my review. I already have a sense of what's in it, as I have been bombarded with this statement more times than I can count -- "Mom, listen to this! This is sooooo cool!"
He likes this one better than Nic Bishop Spiders, a Sibert honor book, so that's really saying something. More to come . . .

I love this book. A favorite nonfiction book prior to 2008is Bishop's one on Spiders. The photos are so sumptuous!
ReplyDeleteI haven't been able to look at this one yet, either, as it is checked out ALL THE TIME at my library. Another good sign. I see he has one on butterflies and moths coming out in March.
ReplyDeleteThank heavens for Nic Bishop.
ReplyDeleteI think we need to see this one. I am going into one of my fed-up-with-the-TV modes and want to supply some great alternatives--like this. Thanks for the review, Tricia.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a great book. I will have to check it out. I find that kids are often the best judges of literature. My daughter loves to take favorite books to bed too.
ReplyDeleteThank you--this sounds wonderful! And since I've taken to heart various bloggers' encouragement to give books for Christmas, it needs to go on a few lists...
