Unique friendship stories like animals who are friends are an enjoyable and non-controversial approach to class inclusion lessons. This picture book about unusual friends is definitely intended to be a fun read, but the underlying lesson has real-world application. Taking the time to get to know others, finding common ground, and discovering how those who are different from ourselves are just as amazing and special as we are.

To help kids with direct application of this concept, at the end of the book, several activities were included.

• Story Review. A few fun facts about the biology of frogs and snakes that we learn in the story with spaces for check marks to identify which traits applied to Frog, to Snake, and to both characters. Memory retention of those fun science concepts.
• Personal Application. Identify someone they know who is very different from themselves. The table is set up with similar columns to the previous exercise on the facing page. Add the name of the other individual and list the traits they have in common with that person and the traits that are different.
• Biology Curiosity and Learning to Research. Many more odd animal facts about frogs and snakes. Some have been completed and some will need research. The instructions encourage extra research at the library or online.

Bonus! We don't need formal classroom books about biology to have some fun with random facts about frogs. This kids' book about frogs and snakes has interactive exercises answer common questions like:

• What are the major similarities between reptiles and amphibians?
• What are the major differences between amphibians and reptiles?
• Do snakes eat frogs?
• Do frogs eat snakes?
