About This Book

Kids will love Hoppity Frog--a springtime treat with interactive sliders on each page! Where is Hoppity Frog? Is he playing in the reeds? No, that's Downy Duckling. Is he paddling through the pond? No, that's Silky Swan! Children will love pushing out the sturdy sliders on each page of this board book until they find Hoppity Frog!

Our Review

This interactive board book offers young children an engaging hide-and-seek adventure with clever sliding mechanisms that reveal different pond animals on each page. Little hands will delight in pushing the sturdy sliders to discover whether Hoppity Frog is hiding behind reeds, lily pads, or pond grasses, while encountering Downy Duckling, Silky Swan, and other wetland creatures along the way. The simple, repetitive questioning pattern creates a predictable structure that builds anticipation and supports early literacy development. Each page turn presents new opportunities for fine motor practice and animal identification in this hands-on exploration.

What sets this book apart is how effectively it combines physical interaction with early learning concepts, making it particularly valuable for toddlers developing coordination and preschoolers building narrative prediction skills. The thick cardboard pages and robust sliding mechanisms withstand enthusiastic repeated use, while the bright illustrations and friendly animal characters maintain visual interest. Parents will appreciate how this search-and-find format naturally encourages counting practice, animal vocabulary building, and conversational interaction during shared reading. Young readers will request repeated readings as they master the sliding actions and proudly anticipate the final reveal of their amphibious friend.
