From School Library Journal
PreSchool-K-Cumulative stories that present the life cycles of their subjects. In Duck, a young boy observes the nesting habits of a pair of mallards and the hatching and growth of their ducklings. The second book looks at the life of a frog from conception to adulthood as seen by a little girl on her visits to the edge of a pond. Both books feature soft-colored illustrations on each two-page spread. Simple descriptions of the life cycles are on the outside of a flap; underneath are more detailed explanations of what is going on in a particular developmental stage with an additional picture or two. The suggested activities for parents at the end of the books would work as well for early childhood teachers. Acceptable introductions to the world of nature.

From Booklist
From the My First Look At series, this book on frog development actually has two simultaneous texts. Each left-hand page has a flap. Folded in, it carries a simple, cumulative rhyme; e.g.: "These are the froglets / that grew from the tadpoles, / that hatched from the eggs, / that were laid by the mate / that joined the frog, / that sings in the pond / that Jenny explores." Folded out, the horizontally enlarged page carries a more detailed, informative text, which better describes the life cycle and metamorphosis of the frog. Well-executed watercolor paintings illustrate this effective introductory book. Carolyn Phelan
