Tasha's daycare had a "frog theme week".  During that week, they learned all about the life of a frog (from egg to tadpole to adult) and the habits of a frog.  I thought the most interesting part would be the way the frog turns from a fish looking tadpole into a jumpy, bumpy frog, but for Tasha the coolest thing was the fact that frogs can live in and out of the water.  She also thought the colourful poison tree frogs were pretty cool.
