Welcome to: A Book or Two: Children's Literature Reviews, a blog site that offers information on new, classic, and favorite children's literature, reviewed by university professors, classroom teachers, librarians, and those studying to become teachers. We hope you will find "just the right book" to share with others. Our goal is to keep the site updated with information about children's authors, book awards, and new releases. Each entry will include the book cover picture, a brief overview, bibliographic information, and suggested uses for families, librarians, and teachers. We will categorize books in several different ways, to facilitate searching.

Brief Overview: As night time approaches, frogs rise with their lily pads to explore their neighborhood, while startling the night life!
Integrated Idea: Students will draw the times displayed in the book as we read the story. Then, students will distinguish what time of the day it is next to their clock and draw either a sun or moon to depict what time of the day it is. After that, groups of students would create their frog dance and song to further explain the times of the day.
