This book would be used to teach children about how organisms survive best in the habitats that meet their needs. Students would see how an organism can be ill-fitted to live in certain environments that other organisms can thrive in. Students could discuss how humans have to adapt to live in certain environments.

Construct an argument with evidence that in a particular habitat some organisms can survive well, some survive less well, and some cannot survive at all.

A long time ago, on a lily pad far, far away, John Hopkins the frog sat and watched as a fly buzzed around his head.



This was his favorite lily pad in the whole pond; the flies always zipped right past this particular spot. His eyes traced the fly’s movement, following it around a cattail and SLURP! He stuck out his tongue and swallowed the bug.







John Hopkins was tired of the same old flies, the same old lily pads, and the same old ponds. He had lived here his whole life! He decided it was time for a change.
One morning when a fisherman came to the pond, he made his move. He hopped into the man’s bag and left the pond!
After hours and hours of driving, the man stopped. John Hopkins jumped out of the bag and landed on soft sand. At first, he thought he was back on the banks of the pond. He looked up to find that the sand went on and on and on...

John Hopkins searched and searched for water. Perhaps, even a shady spot for him to rest his weary legs! There was no shade or water to be found.


Finally, a friendly face emerged from the sand dunes. John Hopkins asked the camel, “What is the place? There is no water and no shade for a frog like me to rest in!”
The camel responded, “This is the desert! You won’t find water or shade here, only sand and wind. Camels like me can go a long time without water, but you need to find your way back to the water. Follow me, and I’ll show you!”


The camel led John Hopkins all the way through the desert until they reached the shore. “Here we are!” exclaimed the camel. John Hopkins was relieved to step into the refreshing water, but a wave nearly swept him away!
A fish popped out of the water to greet John Hopkins. He splashed in and out of the water with ease. His gills allowed him to breath underwater for unlimited amounts of time. John Hopkins loved to swim, but he became tired if he was not able to get enough air. He knew that the ocean was not a place he could stay.




John Hopkins decided to try once more to find another home. He snuck onto a ship and sailed farther out into the ocean...
