Five Little Speckled Frogs by Nikki Smith

This is the perfect poem when students are introduced to animals such as frogs and other amphibians. There can be physical toy frogs that they can count as they go through the nursery rhyme. This would be a great nursery rhyme for younger students that need to practice counting to 5.

They can go through the nursery rhyme while moving their own frogs and have them jump off logs. Students can create their own 'speckled frog' and attach them to Popsicle sticks. Students will want to move along and pretend to be like frogs as well. The rhyme and repetition of the nursery rhyme will help them remember it for future reference.

Nikki graciously sent me a copy of this book to review. I just love sitting and singing the song with my little ones and showing them the book as I showcase this great song for a new generation! I think it would have been more creative to add them jumping in differently.

The only thing I wish was that Nikki would have made a different drawing each time a frog jumped into the pool (where it was nice and cool !) rather than reusing the same one each time. I loved their long pink tongues when they were catching bugs. The frogs on the page pop out at you as in a collage scene. Nikki took a simple kids song and created a splashing good time! Her illustrations are simple, yet fun. I would love to review it! Yes I have some personal attachment to the song  When I saw that Nikki had illustrated the song in a book, my hand shot up and hollered ME, ME.
