Children's Picture Books Featuring Frogs

It's always a fun surprise to spot a little green amphibian hopping around the yard or along a sidewalk. Usually they prefer to stay close to a body of water or swampy areas of land, but sometimes curiosity gets the better of these jumpy creatures. Nocturnal by nature, their croaking sounds at night can be surprisingly loud, and are often love calls by males seeking the companionship of a lovely lady. To learn more about the behavior, habitat, and other interesting information, gather the best children's books about frogs.

Be sure to grab a few non-fiction titles to read, especially for kids who are interested in the biology of these hopping critters.
