Wechsler, Doug The Hidden Life of a Toad. PICTURE
BOOK. 25 pgs. Charlesbridge, 2017. $17.99. Content: G.
This book follows the life cycle of a toad, from
embryo to tadpole to toadlet to full grown toad. It includes large photographs
for each and every stage of the journey.
Just right for a read-aloud with a kindergarten or
first grade, or for second graders to read on their own. This would be a nice addition
to your reptile book collection. My only complaint is the colors chosen for the informational portions of the page is fairly
subdued and the presentation is very rigid, giving it a dated feel. Many of the
non-fiction books that are coming out from other publishers have fun fact
bubbles, picture shape variety and bright colors to help hold readers interest and provide a more modern feel.
