title: Very First Things to Know About Frogs (Very First Things to Know About... Series)
author:  Patricia Grossman 
description: PreSchool-Grade 1 Two weak entries in the rapidly growing field of nonfiction aimed at young children. Unfortunately, the books' format works against them. On each two-page spread, a basic fact is printed in large type and is followed by a brief explanation and several more related tidbits. Given the broad subjects, the information ends up being general e.g., "Monkeys have different ways of getting from place to place" or "Frogs have long, strong legs." No allowances are made for the inevitable differences among species. This generalization is also apparent in the illustrations. The full-color artwork is adequate, but although various species are shown, none are named an approach that creates more questions than answers. Also problematic are the books' "interactive" elements, which vary greatly in difficulty. Some questions require the use of reusable stickers (included at the back of the books), which creates all manner of circulation nightmares. This game approach might have some appeal, but the information is so minimal that most children will be better served by any of the far superior titles that already exist on these subjects.
