From the very first squeak and boing, Life according to Og the Frog draws you in. In this first book Og the Frog is taken from his pond, changes classrooms, and makes new friends. Og misses his pond life but seems to adjust to his new friends in Room 26. Like the Humphrey series, Og delves into a variety of subjects in a way that even the youngest readers can appreciate the lessons being taught. Aside from friendship, the big lesson this time is, wildlife and wildlife as pets. In Chapter 8 we learn all about the conflict of pets To Stay, Go, I Don’t Know… all done in a way that encourages children to think and research. Who knew a frog’s life could be so interesting?
