Five Green Speckled Frogs Debbie Barry

Join the five green speckled frogs in their frolicking adventure! Five delightful frogs dive into the cool water of a pond to entertain and delight children, and to help them learn the concepts of counting and subtraction. Based on a traditional nursery song by Mother Goose, the story is retold and expanded for today's young learners. The five green speckled frogs introduce the concept of counting up to 5, and introduce the concept of zero. Children have the opportunity at the end of the book to learn higher counting skills, first counting to 25, and then counting to 100. Each verse includes counting the frogs, and ends with the concept of subtraction, such as 5-1=4. Reading level: 2nd grade Math level: Kindergarten to 1st grade. Appropriate for infants and preschoolers with adult reading assistance.
