Summary: This vibrantly illustrated book features poems by a young narrator who is cautiously getting to know her new neighborhood as she returns outside day after day to observe a tiny treefrog. (Miller Library Staff)Summary: "With magical, concise and perceptive poems, Newbery-Honor winning author Joyce Sidman captures the life of a tree frog in an intimate and moving way. A master of the science note, her fascinating sidebars help bind the twin poems together and ground our perspective. We learn how treefrogs have sticky toe pads, how they still themselves when in danger, how they can change from green to gray to camouflage themselves - even how they eat their own skins, which is full of nutrients. The narrator's connection with this small creature brings solace, comfort, and a sense of mystery."--
