The Lost Mitten

Story · 3 questions

Picture: A snowy yard on a bright winter morning, with a bare tree, a low fence and a red sled. A girl of five with fair skin, freckles and ginger pigtails, in a green puffy coat, a striped woolly hat, blue mittens and red boots, tips her face up to catch falling snowflakes. She is laughing.

Nora played in the snow. Her hand got cold. Her mitten was gone! She followed her footprints back. The mitten was by the sled.

How a Frog Grows

True facts · 3 questions

Picture: A sunny summer meadow. A plump green frog with golden eyes sits on a mossy log in the grass. Behind it stands a leafy tree with a bird's nest on one branch, and tall reeds edge a small patch of blue water. Dragonflies dart in the warm light.

A frog starts as an egg in a pond. The egg hatches into a tadpole. Then it grows legs and is a froglet. When its tail is gone, it is a frog!
