There is a local pond with a stream that we visit every Spring to try and see the tadpoles.
Later in the season, we love walking along the pond trying to spot the frogs — often you have to spy their eyeballs just sticking out of the mud.

The best way to find them is listen for their croaking.
Are Frog Reptiles
No, frogs are not reptiles. They are amphibians.
While both amphibians and reptiles are ectothermic (cold-blooded) vertebrates, amphibians typically have moist, permeable skin and undergo metamorphosis, whereas reptiles have dry, scaly skin and do not undergo metamorphosis.
Are Frog Omnivores
Frogs are generally not omnivores; they are primarily carnivorous. They typically feed on insects, spiders, worms and other small invertebrates.
However, there are some species of frogs that may occasionally consume plant matter, making them omnivorous to some extent.
Can Frog Breathe Underwater
Frogs can’t breathe underwater like fish do; instead, they absorb oxygen through their skin while submerged.
They also have lungs and can breathe air, so they come to the surface periodically to take in oxygen.
Some frog species, like the African clawed frog, have specialized adaptations that allow them to stay underwater for extended periods by extracting oxygen from the water through their skin.

FROG BOOKS FOR KIDS
In this very silly story with a sly message, told in hilarious dialogue between a feisty young frog and his heard-it-all-before father, young readers will identify with little Frog’s desire to be something different, while laughing along at his stubborn yet endearing schemes to prove himself right.
Frog wants to be anything but a slimy, wet frog. A cat, perhaps. Or a rabbit. An owl?
When a hungry wolf arrives — a wolf who HATES eating frogs — our hero decides that maybe being himself isn’t so bad after all.
From the Okefenokee Swamp comes a frog with a wide mouth that he just loves to use.
He’s particularly interested in the eating habits of other creatures found in the great outdoors — that is, of course, until he comes upon a big green one with lots of teeth who finds wide-mouthed frogs simply delicious.
From Tadpole to Frog is a lovely first look at this amazing metamorphosis.
Female frogs lay masses of jelly-coated eggs in the water, but what hatches from each egg isn’t a frog yet — it’s a tadpole.
Tadpoles are likely tiny fish that breathe underwater through gills.
As the tadpole gets older, it loses its fishy tail and its gills and grows legs and develops lungs. The tadpole has become a frog.
