Do You Dream? by Elizabeth Cody Kimmel, Sumi's First Day of School
Ever by Soyung Pak, and one previous Green Light Reader, Why the
Frog Has Big Eyes by Betsy Franco. She lives in Anaheim,
California.
K-Gr 2-In this succinct pourquoi tale, boastful Frog challenges other animals to staring contests. He defeats Horse and Rabbit, then takes on Fish. This dare lasts so long that Frog's eyes get "big, big, BIG" before he loses to the unblinking winner. Quirkily charming pictures in vivid colors strongly support the easy text. The book's small size makes it accessible to independent reading by the target audience. A solid choice for emerging readers.-Laura Santoro, Coventry Library, Cleveland Heights, OH Copyright 2000 Cahners Business Information.
