Frog on a Log

Frog on a Log is a cute phonic 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. “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!”
