Description
From the acclaimed creative pair behind the award-winning nonfiction picture books Moth and Fox, Frog is a visually spectacular story of how life on Earth came to be.
If frogs come from eggs,
and eggs come from frogs,
where did the first frog come from?
A frog can tell the story of the universe. Because before there were frogs, before there were people and plants, and before there was the Earth itself, the universe started with a tiny speck and a bang. And from this single speck, the universe and all life came to be.
Isabel Thomas's lyrical text and Daniel Egnéus breathtaking illustrations transport readers through time and space, to the very moment the universe was created. Discover the incredible story of how frogs--and all life on Earth--began. A story is still being told--in every garden, every pond, and every corner of our extraordinary planet.
Frog: A Story of Life on Earth is an imaginative and educational introduction to the history of our universe, our planet, evolution, and the vast diversity of our planet.

[An] outstanding title that takes a child's simple question and answers it seriously, with accessible, absorbing and wildly informative text accompanied by stunningly dynamic mixed media illustrations. . . . Rarely has evolutionary science been so accessible, gripping and exuberantly colorful as it is in Frog.

The third absorbing, flawless nonfiction picture book collaboration between author Isabel Thomas and illustrator Daniel Egnéus. . . . Thomas expertly distills massive ideas into tangible facts in a dynamic text. . . . The art is so inventive and nearly neon that it demands viewers' attention. . . . This clever, fascinating approach to evolution is told through the undeniably child-friendly lens of frogs.
