📖 Reading Passage: All About Frogs
🔊 ListenFrogs are small animals that live near ponds. A frog can breathe through its skin, so its skin must stay wet. A frog does not drink like a person. It takes in water through its skin. Most frogs lay their eggs in water, and tadpoles hatch from the eggs. When a frog eats, it uses its eyes to help swallow. Its eyes go down into its head and push food down its throat.
