This Weeks Storytime in a Bag
by Daytha Howell

The Wide-Mouth Frog by Keith Faulkner

The reason I chose this book for Storytime in a Bag was…it’s just plain fun to read aloud! The Wide-Mouthed Frog by Keith Faulkner is a pop-up book, and pop-ups are enjoyed by kids (and adults) of all ages. When the wide-mouthed frog asks different animals what they eat, the reader just has to open his mouth as wide as he or she can. Then, at the end when he asks the alligator what he eats and finds out that it’s wide-mouthed frogs…well, that is when you purse your lips and deny you’re a wide-mouthed frog. What fun!!!!
