The name’s what first caught my attention. Who doesn’t love frogs, right?

Frog On A (B)Log has a sweet intersection: animals, nature, and picture books. I also like that it offers plenty of useful, practical stuff. Along with reviews and interview posts, I’m seeing a solid teacher-​resources page with things like a teacher’s guide, a Reader’s Theatre script, coloring sheets, and book review worksheets. Plus it’s got interviews, book birthday shout-​outs, and more. Yes, please.

As the site puts it: “If you like to read, write, share, or celebrate picture books, then you will like this blog!” Indeed.

Kudos to children’s picture book author, freelance writer and transcriptionist, and retired library assistant Lauri Fortino—and to her frog friend Finley, too!
