BRIEF OVERVIEW:
On what the
reader knows is a Tuesday, frogs begin to float on Lilly pads and fly from
their swamp into the city. Then, at the end of the night, their magic Lilly
pads stop flying. The reader is left to wonder what will fly next Tuesday.
(Maybe pigs?)
INTEGRATED ACTIVITY: This
would be a great for a science unit that describes characteristics of frogs.
(Can frogs really fly?)
