Learning a Bit About Frogs (and how to keep one as a pet)

This little unit is for J, who adores frogs and has one captive in a 5 gallon aquarium on our kitchen table. There are so many resources at the library on this topic, this is just a start. If J is still interested and would like to learn more we will continue on and check out more materials. (By the way, I haven't previewed any of these books or movies. They're just the ones that looked intersting, informational and appropriate for a 1st grader.)
