From the acclaimed creative pair behind the award-winning nonfiction picture books Moth and Fox, Frog is a visually spectacular story of how life on Earth came to be. If frogs come from eggs, and eggs come from frogs, where did the first frog come from?
A frog can tell the story of the universe. Because before there were frogs, before there were people and plants, and before there was the Earth itself, the universe started with a tiny speck and a bang. And from this single speck, the universe and all life came to be.
Isabel Thomas's lyrical text and Daniel Egnéus breathtaking illustrations transport readers through time and space, to the very moment the universe was created. Discover the incredible story of how frogs--and all life on Earth--began. A story is still being told--in every garden, every pond, and every corner of our extraordinary planet.

Okay, okay, everybody has heard of the Big Bang. Sure. But then what happened?
This magical book takes us back to the very first second of the universe and then slowly, slowly brings us forward step by step explaining how things were able to change - molecules, atoms, explosions - all the tools of the universe that eventually created our planet and the living things that came from one single cell.
Stare into a pond and you might get lucky and see a frog or two. But it turns out what you are really looking at is the history of millions of years that brought us to the moment called now.
This one will answer a lot of questions. Loved it.
