Parent and Teacher guide

It is a great opportunity when Basil and Rana find a string of gooey frog eggs in a rain pool on their way to school. The chidren learn some scientific information about frogs and amphibians and then realise that animals like humans do not like to be boxed in and would rather be set free and live with their own kind. The funny turn of events make the children laugh and enjoy the story especially when the frog jumps and lands on the teacher’s head. Other than the scientific facts the parent or teacher can discuss feelings. Why was the frog - who was so lovingly cared for by the kids - feeling sad?
