The Wide Mouth Frog is a wonderful tale of a frog who goes around bragging about what he is but in the end ,he misrepresents himself so he is safe from his enemy . If you purchase this book I recommend buying the hard cover edition because it has wonderful pop out pages that capture the children's attention and makes the story much more interesting to listen to and look at the pictures.It is definately worth paying the extra money for. The soft cover edition is just a story where the pop out pictures put your child in the story. I teach preschool and have both copies. I first had the soft cover than found the hard cover and let me tell y ou the children ask for this story over and over again.
After seeing the reaction of one class room of preschool children response to this book I knew i had to purchase wide mouth frog for the other class rooms. You will not have to work at keeping the children's attention with this book. So many little girls and boys wanted to take this book home with them , so it will make a wonderful gift.

I bought this book for my nonverbal 2-year-old daughter to encourage her to imitate movements with her mouth (ie open mouth, stick out tongue, wiggle tongue, etc.). She is a visual learner so the large colorful pages and animated pop-ups are stimulating to her. Her speech therapist used it with her in one of her speech sessions. I am an SLP myself so I purchased one myself to use with my daughter at home and with future clients. I love the big colorful illustrations, the story line with the frog and how I can adapt this mainstream children's book to help with my daughter's development.
