A cute, cumulative story about how a frog gets away from predators. I can see my younger readers shouting out "Jump, Frog, Jump!!" as we read it aloud!

The art in this book could be better. This story will be good for a frog theme and is also available in Spanish.

Repeating phrases allow children to join in on the storytelling.

Cumulative tale that allows readers to get involved saying "Jump, Frog, Jump!" as the frog escapes one peril after another. For enthusiastic kids, this would be a great read aloud, if the kids don't get into it, this one will fall flat. For babies, caregivers could lift them up on each "Jump" or toddlers could jump themselves on each jump.

Another great book about a jumping frog with a repititive line (Jump, frog, jump!) that the kids can say with you as a way to interact with the story!

Great repetition. We did as a puppet show. Peter loved it.

Another book borrowed from day care. It's meant for transitioning readers. I didn't appreciate that at the time. I've learned so much about picture books since then.

This is a classic call and response book with simple, bright images. Kids will get a kick out of saying, “jump, frog, jump!”
