SCIENCE FICTION/MODERN FANTASY
This book is about a girl named Wilma who woke up one morning as a green frog-like girl. Everyone is shocked and startled by her appearance and new mannerisms. Wilma goes school acting as a frog. Wilma disturbs the school and hops away to a pond and jumps into the water where she spotted a hungry fish that swam after her as she raced to the water surface and jumped on a log to safety. In the end of the book, we find out that Wilma was a frog the whole time, dreaming that she used to be a human and woke up as a frog one day.
I would use this book as a classroom library resource for third grade students. I think students would enjoy reading this book during DEAR time or when they have finished work and need something to read. It is funny and creative and has amusing pictures for students to look at. This book is also poetic, with rhyme throughout the text. I could use this book in a classroom as a way to get students reading poetry.
