The Wide-Mouthed Frog: A Pop-Up Book

Brief Synopsis: The frog is a very curious one and he enjoys asking other animals what they eat, after boasting, "I'm a wide mouth frog and I eat flies." After asking a bird and mouse, he runs into an alligator that seems to be interested in him. The pop ups are great and the end is a huge payoff "SPLASH"! I say it's a must have!

Absolutely loved, loved, loved this book - my husband brought it home after a business trip when our boy/girl twins were just six weeks old, and by the time they were a year old, it was one of their most favorite books...and remained so, for several years. The illustrations really come to life with these amazing pop-ups, and the huge "Splash!" at the end always sent the kids into giggles. Eight years later, I purchased another copy of the book to send to my brother's baby boy - and he loves it just as much as his cousins always did. I highly recommend this book for anyone with children aged anywhere around 10 months - 4 years, and even older!

This beautifully illustrated and well written book has brought new and colorful language to special children with little to no language. They asked me for "The Wide Mouth Frog". Thanks for your prompt attention.

This is the book that helped my five-month old become an avid book lover. She is now seven months and she taps on the cover of the book whenever she wants me to read it with her (which happens about 30 times a day). The text is wonderful for mimicking the different animals and the book allows creativity during the reading process using the pop ups. When my baby cries, I usually pick up the book and she starts smiling instantly, excited about the prospect of reading it again. Now she shows an incredible interest in books of all kinds, curious about what treasures they hide.
