colours and clothes and more im Englischunterricht, 23. Juli 2007

Ich arbeite sehr gerne mit der Froggy-Reihe, die Kinder (2.-3. Lernjahr) sind begeistert von den Büchern und sehr stolz, weil sie so viel verstehen und "ein ganzes Buch gelesen haben". Bei "Froggy gets dressed" liegt der Schwerpunkt auf clothes und colours. Man kann es sehr gut einsetzen, um Kleidungsstücke neu einzuführen und dabei Farben wiederholen. Sind sowohl clothes als auch colours bekannt, dann werden verschiedene Arten des Anziehens ein neues Lernspektrum bilden: statt nur put on /put off auch unbuttoned, zipped off,...so dass sich der Schwierigkeitsgrad beliebig steigern lässt und keine Langeweile aufkommt. "Froggy gets dressed" ist mit Sicherheit eines der besten Bücher der Froggy-Reihe.

My 2 and 4 year old daughters just love this book. I should have bought a hard cover one...! The 4 year old knows almost all the pages by heart. They especially love it when froggy's mother calls him - "Frooooggggyyyy"! I always catch my younger daughter call his name during the day. We of course have to buy the other froggy stories!

Ein sehr schönes Buch für den Englisch Unterricht in der Grundschule zum Thema "clothes". Ich ersetzte einige Vokabeln durch die gelernten z.B. "jeans statt pants" und behielt durchgängig die Phrasen "takes off" und "puts on" bei, und die Kinder konnten den Inhalt problemlos verstehen. Mit Freude begleiteten die Kinder den Inhalt durch Bewegungen und konnten einzelne Textpassagen mitsprechen. Insgesamt war es für die Kinder ein großes Erfolgserlebnis den Inhalt eines Buches zu verstehen.

       Long Live Froggy!, 12. Juni 2000

I fell for Froggy the minute I met him in Froggy Goes to School. He's a relative newcomer to the world of children's literature, but with his (prince) charming personality and zest for life, I expect he'll star in a few more books.

In his first appearance, Froggy awakens from his winter hibernation to the joy of small children everywhere -- SNOW! He hops out of bed and dresses for action, with plenty of fun to hear sound effects (zip! zup!). First his mom tells him to go back to sleep. Then, realizing that that's a losing battle, she does her best to make sure he dresses warmly. This entails reminding Froggy of articles of clothing he forgot to put on, so Froggy gets dressed and undressed a few times. After Froggy finally makes it outside, Mom reminds him of one important item he forgot -- UNDERWEAR! The magic word -- it makes Froggy blush and gives his friends, and his readers, the giggles.

Froggy finally gets so tired of dressing and undressing that he goes back to sleep. Maybe his mom knew that would happen all along.

       Fun for Young and Old!, 3. Juni 2000

My wife is an elementary school teacher. We stumbled across this book in another teacher's classroom, and had a great time reading through it.

For kids, "Froggy" uses a very memorable story to teach them the basics of dressing. Even if they already know, they'll have a great time reading this book along with you.

I'd recommend this book to any parent who is looking for a fun and educational story to read to their child. Kindergarten teachers, I'm sure, already know the great value of "Froggy Gets Dressed."

You and your kid(s) are guaranteed to have a good time with this one!
