"This is the turtle that slid into the pond and ate the snake that dropped from a branch and swallowed the fish that swam after the frog - Jump, Frog, Jump. This infectious cumulative tale will soon have the young frogs you know jumping and chanting with joy.

The pond can be filled with danger if you're a frog! Turn the pages to see how one clever - or lucky! - frog manages to escape all the perilous situations. The black bolded sentences clearly explain the pictures, while also building on one another and creating a steady reading cadence; "This is the fish that swam after the frog, that was under the fly, that climbed out of the water." Every time the question is asked, "How did the frog get away", the font suddenly grows and becomes bright yellow for the chorus of "Jump, frog, jump!" The repetition helps your child learn quickly and be able to participate. The pictures are very simple drawings filled with bright primary colors to serve primarily as a memory aid to the building sentences.

This is a fun book to read many times over, as it teaches your little one memory and association skills while they listen to you read the increasingly complex sentences many times over. They will also have fun pointing out and naming the different animals in the pond, like the fly, fish, snake, turtle, and young boys. You can add fun to the story by changing your voice and volume for each added line, like having a tiny voice to describe the fly, and a sneaky element to describe the snake, then a quick snap for the turtle. It's fun to pause each time you ask, "How did the frog get away" and let your little one say, "Jump, frog, Jump!"

My three-year-old friend, Sam, loves when his dad reads him this story during bath time. Sam will sit in the warm bubbles and let his mom wash his back and hair, while his Dad sits nearby and reads the story. Sam has a bath toy frog, so he loves to make it hop around and splash while exclaiming, "Jump, frog, jump!" He named his frog "Jack" and insists Jack can jump over the house.
