The story of Lilliana and the Frogs gently teaches young readers that living things in nature are best left in their own habitats. Lilliana’s pursuit of catching a group of wild frogs and bringing them into her home goes awry when the frogs escape from their cage. Leading Lilliana back to the pond and forest where she found them, the frogs remind her where they truly belong. This story supports the exploration of living things in the Science curriculum, where students learn about life cycles and how animals adapt and survive in their local ecosystems. In English Language Arts, students can easily make connections to Lilliana’s experience by sharing their own stories about wanting to take home a living thing from nature. After reading, students can demonstrate understanding about being responsible citizens and taking care of the local environment as part of the Social Studies curriculum.
