About: This book is about 3 frogs that lived in a pond together. Everything one of them saw, they though it was theirs. They didn’t want to share anything with one another. All they would say is, “It’s mine, it’s mine!” Until one day a toad came up to them and told them to get along. Suddenly a storm came, and all the rocks were under water but one, and so they all got on it. It turned out it wasn’t a rock and it was the toad, and he saved them. From that day on they shared and got along!!
Class: This book gives us a lesson about sharing. I could do a discussion to the kids about sharing. I could also let them do an activity involving sharing, or let them draw picture of the frogs.
