Join us for a spring-themed River Tales to read And the Bullfrogs Sing: A Life Cycle Begins, written by David L. Harrison and illustrated by Kate Cosgrove.

Eggs hatch and become tadpoles. The tadpoles nibble plants. They grow legs and start to breathe. Now they are little bullfrogs. They eat flies, fish, and spiders. In the winter they hibernate. And after three years, they are adult bullfrogs. Rumm…rumm…rumm. Lyrical prose and elegant art depict the life cycle of a bullfrog in this nonfiction picture book by an award-winning poet-biologist.

A program just for kids 4+ and their caregivers, River Tales includes a story, a craft activity, and an opportunity to get out on the dock to see some birds!

All River Tales reservations include Museum admission for one adult and one child and must be purchased in advance. Children MUST be accompanied by a parent/guardian during this event.
