One day Wilma the frog was trying to catch breakfast when an Alien spaceship landed to get some water. Their son came out to take a swim. When his mother called for him and told him it was time to go the spaceship accidentally grabbed Wilma the frog instead. When in space and the family discovered it was not their son they took him to the doctor thinking the pond water changed his color. Wilma saw the bug on the ship she was trying to catch earlier and started to chase it. She was jumping on the controls and the spaceship began to tip over. They finally knew that this was not their son. Once they were able to get control of the ship again they headed back to earth to find their son. Wilma was in disbelief that this had happened and felt like it was a dream.
The illustrations in this book fit the theme. This book has more darker colors and the pictures go along great with the story. If you have a child that is interested in space this book along with its pictures would be great for them.
This book would be great for 1st through 3rd grade. You could use it as a Science lesson. Read the book with your students then you could have them make their own spaceship out of materials you have provided them.
The cute illustration on this book cover drew me in! It sounds like a great story that would be fun to share with my own kids as well as a classroom.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Kelly about the cover of the book! It's a great book to use for an Arts Literacy standard!
