Cybils Almost Book Review - Nic Bishop Frogs

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 . . .

  1. I love this book. A favorite nonfiction book prior to 2008is Bishop's one on Spiders. The photos are so sumptuous!

  2. I 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.

  3. I 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.

  4. This 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.

  5. Thank 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...
