Book: Frog on a Log? by Kes Gray
Full of rhyming words with a little humor at the end.
Action Song: "The Frog on the Log"
There once was a green little frog, frog, frog -
Who played in the wood on a log, log, log!
A screech owl sitting in a tree, tree, tree -
Came after the frog with a scree, scree, scree!
When the frog heard the owl in a flash, flash, flash -
He leaped in the pond with a splash, splash, splash!

Book: The Hoppameleon by Paul Geraghty
This is one of my favorite stories about a little frog trying to figure out who he is.
Song/Flannel Board: "5 Little Speckled Frogs"
Five little speckled frogs
Sat on a speckled log
Eating some most delicious bugs, YUM YUM!
One jumped into the pool,
Where it was nice and cool,
Then there were four green speckled frogs, GLUB GLUB!
....Now there are no green speckled frogs, GLUB GLUB!

Book: The Wide-Mouthed Frog by Keith Faulkner
A fun pop-up version of the classic tale.
Song: "Glub Glub"
Glub, glub went the little green frog one day,
Glub, glub went the little green frog.
Glub, glub went the little green frog one day,
and his eyes went blink, blink, blink.
Glub, glub went the little green frog one day,
Glub, glub went the little green frog.
Glub, glub went the little green frog one day,
And his knees went wiggle, wiggle wiggle.
And his eyes went blink, blink, blink.
continue, adding on the lines:
And his tongue went stretch, stretch, stretch.
And his legs went hop, hop, hop.
And his ears went listen, listen, listen.

Oh it's time to say goodbye to all my friends (clapclap)

It's time to say goodbye to all my friends (clapclap)
