A Frog in the Bog by Karma Wilson and Joan Rankin tells a story about a frog who is sitting on a sunken log that keeps eating different insects. With every insect that the frog eats, he grows. When the frog gets big and fact, he realizes the log is a gator! The gator tries to eat the frog but when the frog yells out all of the insects crawl out. Then the gator loses interest because the frog is not going to be meal enough. I really liked how educational this book is. Every page contains lines that rhyme which a teacher could use on a rhyming unit. Also, a unit on insects and nature could be used with this book. The illustrations of the book are okay. I think they are done with watercolor which gives the book an outdoorsy feel. I would definitely keep this book for younger grades.
