Would you recommend the book to a friend? Why? If you didn’t like the book can you think why? Who would like the book? Yes because every person or animal is different and has the right to be different. Someone who likes scruffy dogs. |

Frogs. Frogs are a living animal. All poisonous frogs are bright. Some frogs are not too nice. They are nice, scary, smelly and chubby. They usually use their back legs to jump. All frogs have long back legs to help them jump. Frogs croak. The female frog is bigger than the male frog. When you see a red-eyed tree frog you can almost see the suction cups. A frog has bulging eyes. A blue eyed tree frog is very small. Most frogs are a little chubby. Most frogs are slimy. Not many frogs in Derry are not too dark. They have webbed feet to help them swim. They have moist skin that's why they can stay on land. Frogs have 8 toes. Frogs live in all continents except Antarctica. No matter what a frogs home is near water. |
Frogs even live on a beach. Some frogs actually live in the forest. There are a lot of frogs that live in my garden. Lots of frog spawn live in eggs with jelly around them to protect them. Frogs enjoy sitting on lily pads. A frog's hobby is catching their own food. A frog loves to eat insects. Frogs also love playing catch the bug. Frogs like to swim as well. As a tadpole grows its tail shrinks and its legs grow. But before that happens the tadpole has gills to help it breathe. The frog is amphibian.
