But the best is yet to come when the pair ventures out after dark to go frog hunting at the pond.

This challenge is wrapped in a story about a loving relationship between child and grandmother who experience empathy and respect for wildlife. Croaky and the Green Boots is written for ages 4-7. “Find the frog” on every page delights all ages. The book supports Next Generation Science Standards for Kindergarten Life Science.
