Froggy Gets a Doggy

September 1, 2014

PreS-K-Froggy has had so many experiences over the years: he has baked a cake, marched in a band, played soccer, and been on a sleepover. In this new adventure, he gets a pet. His mom suggests a bunny or some mice, but Froggy wants what all kids want, a dog. Froggy learns that having a puppy can be a lot of work that sometimes involves a pooper-scooper, but also rewarding when he wakes up to puppy kisses. John McDonough's humorous narration keeps the listener laughing in all the right places. He delivers with fitting silliness the familiar, "FRROOOGGYY," as well as the usual embarrassment that leaves Froggy "more red in the face than green." This new installment in a much loved series will please Froggy fans everywhere and create some new ones. -Terri Norstrom, Cook Memorial Public Library District, Libertyville, IL
