ABOUT THE BOOK

How does a tiny tadpole become a frog?

Growing Frogs follows the fascinating transformation from frogspawn to tadpoles and, eventually, fully grown frogs. Vivian French combines a child-friendly story with real information about the frog life cycle, while Alison Bartlett’s illustrations make the changes easy and enjoyable to follow.

Children are encouraged not just to read about nature, but to observe, wonder and discover it for themselves.

WHO IS IT FOR?

Age: Approximately 4–8 years

Perfect for children fascinated by:

• Frogs & tadpoles
• Animal life cycles
• Nature & wildlife
• Ponds and habitats
• Early science
• How animals grow and change

WHY WE LOVE IT

We love the way Growing Frogs makes a genuine scientific process feel like a discovery.

Watching frogspawn develop into tadpoles and then frogs is one of nature’s most memorable transformations, and this book captures that sense of wonder beautifully.

It works particularly well as an introduction to life cycles, growth and observation, while still feeling like a book to enjoy rather than a textbook.
