In a funny and satisfying conclusion, the final story finds Frog the victim of an unexpected slurp.
The appeal of these stories to beginning readers can't be overstated. The simple, short sentences repeat challenging words and sound patterns while the action, portrayed in comic book panels, moves swiftly to the punch line. Kids can gleefully anticipate each story's final slurp without not quite knowing how it will come about.
Frog and Fly is sure to hop off the shelves and into young readers' hands.
