As a young kindergarten teacher, I looked forward to our lessons each year on the life cycle of frogs. Reading Tim Tadpole and the Great Bullfrog to my students was always a fun experience, as the children identified so closely with the growth and change that Tim was experiencing. The triumph of the ending, when Tim emerges from the water using his strong new legs, was thrilling for the children. The copy I used from our school library in the early 80's was already quite old. I've scoured used book sales and thrift shops in vain, hoping to find a copy for my self. Maybe one day this book could be reprinted, perhaps with colorful new illustrations to appeal to today's 4-6 year olds. I would be first in line to buy it!
My 6-year-old daughter just LOVED this book! She had some concept of tadpoles and frogs -- but this book really helped her understand how the process works. Not only that, but she truly enjoyed the story. We have enjoyed every Marjorie Flack book that we have read together.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and learned immensely from it. I just cannot express in the English language the effect that this book had on my life.
