A Buzzby StorybookFrom Tadpole to Hopping Frog

Ages 5 to 8 Kindergarten to 3rd Grade 10 pages Read aloud

The first pages

In early spring, Aanya and her papa walked to a pond at the edge of a meadow near Guelph. Floating near the reeds was a big blob of clear jelly with black dots inside.

"Those are frog eggs," said Papa. Buzzby the bee landed on a reed. "Each black dot is a tiny frog getting ready," he buzzed. "But it will not look like a frog yet!"

What happens next? The rest of the story, every painted page and Buzzby's narration open with a free account.

Talk time questions

  • What did the frog eggs look like?
  • Which legs grew first on the tadpoles?
  • How have you changed since you were a baby?
