Frog on a Log?

Product Information

This book presents many different animals and objects with names meant to rhyme with one another. Although there are supporting pictures and the children will most likely understand the book’s examples, without knowing what the words are, a brief description of the various, non-everyday animals and objects would be beneficial for a deeper enjoyment of the story.

Is it wrong for someone not to do something they are supposed to do, because it makes them uncomfortable? After Frog’s attempted justification of his refusal to sit on a log, Cat says that one’s seat is not based on comfort, but merely on “doing the right thing.” What, in this case, is the right thing, and how does sitting on certain things make something right or wrong? Beginner-level books with funny plots, relatable characters, and eye-catching visuals help develop a lifelong enthusiasm for reading. The Frog on a Log series fits the bill perfectly: It makes classroom storytime fun (and boosts skills!) for students in grades PreK-1.Frog asks Cat if he may sit on a sofa, as he is able to stretch out on it. Should Frog’s possession of this ability to occupy the sofa allow him to sit there? You might ask the children to think of an example of something they are able to do but shouldn’t do. Frog on a Log? is also a great way for students to familiarize themselves with the -og word family. For this crafty activity, have students cut out a log from brown construction paper and a frog from green construction paper.

The tables have turned in the sequel, Dog on a Frog, in which the frog is rewriting the rules and claiming that dogs sit on logs — not frogs! The second book also includes rhyming text (like cheetahs sitting on fajitas!) and engaging, colorful images. Are the social norms in the book beneficial for all the animals? Will the animals be better off if there are no rules?I must say that I yelped when the cat said, "It's not about being comfortable ... It's about doing the right thing." Books like this one will help young readers excel in decoding words and sounding out letters, all while building their vocabulary. (Looking for more opportunities to rhyme in class?
