This is a versatile book for young readers (4+) and has information pages at the end of the story of the life cycle of red eyed frogs of the Costa Rica Rainforest. It can be used for both geography, nature studies and for number skills. This beautifully illustrated book starts with ten sticky frog eggs and nine tadpoles hatching but, by the end of the book, only one new red-eyed tree frog survives. A great story and countdown book with colourful illustrations that introduces young children to competition and natural survival. The last two double page spreads include further information on ‘ What does it take to become one tiny red-eyed tree frog , a “Spot all Costa Rican species” illustration, a ‘Surviving to become one tiny tree frog’ Countdown sheet with more details and a diagram of the Red eyed tree frog life cycle. With a Selected Bibliography and a Suggested Further Reading and Reviewing, this book is a versatile and important resource for young children’s education that will captivate young children.
