September 4th, 2009Frog on a Log is a cute phonics flap board book by Usborne. The book measures 6 1/4 x 6 1/4 inches, has 10 pages and is by Phil Roxbee Cox and Stephen Cartwright. Usborne's popular phonics readers are now available as simplified board books with flaps! Every other page has a flap that tell you more about the frog and his adventure on the log. All of the Easy Words To Read series are fantastic for children to learn phonics. Great illustrations, nice little story line and best of all, they are made up of mostly phonetic words that repeat.
This book, Frog on a Log, is about a frog that sits on a log by the bog. He suddenly jumps over the bog with one big hop and starts to jog. When the frog stops jogging it's foggy outside and a dog appears. The dog starts running and bumps into the log causing the frog to fall off the log. Frog gets up and gets back onto his log and along comes Pig through the fog. Pig is looking for the dog, but he bumps into frog's log causing frog to fall into the bog. The next day its sunny and frog straps himself onto the log, Pig and dog push the log and it falls into the bog with Frog tied to it.
Now even very young children can enjoy the delightful stories of Ted's Shed, Frog on a Log, Goose on the Loose and Hen's Pens, and be amused by Stephen Cartwright's wonderful pictures.
Review of Frog on a Log
"If you are looking for cute, fun books to help teach your children phonics, get the Usborne Phonics Readers! We prefer the board book versions of these books, as opposed to the paperback versions, because they are more sturdy and include fun lift-the-flaps. The text is simple, direct, and even funny. Stephen Cartwright's illustrations are adorable.
"Frog on a Log" was the first book in this series we purchased. It was such a hit that we decided to purchase "Goose on the Loose" and "Fat Cat on a Mat" for some phonics variety, and they are loved just as much. My kids, ages 1 and 3, love to read these books over and over and over and over... so beware of that before you buy!"
