Who has heard frogs this year? Or are you still waiting (like me)?
I’m in southeastern PA, but others nearby have heard them!
Page spread from my book Ribbit! The Truth About Frogs, illustrated by Juanbjuan Oliver and published by Reycraft Books.
Follow the calls of frogs to find frog eggs--but be careful. Never touch frog eggs with lotion, sunscreen, or perfume on your hands.
🐸Learn more about frogs in RIBBIT! THE TRUTH ABOUT FROGS written by me and with humorous illustrations by Juanbjuan Oliver.
