I have a 1 & 3 year old and they both love this book. It has vivid graphics/colors on white background so they really pop! The text is simple and keeps the attention of small children. All around a great book. I own two books by this publisher and will continue to buy more.
Like with My Pet Dragon by the same author the written story itself, although good is not only well supported by the brilliantly done illustrations (computer graphic stills), those images actually take the picture book as a whole to a much higher level. Like with the other books, I could easily see the character for each book being released as a collectible figure or range of figures.I've read four of Scott Gordon's books and would recommend this one as the one to buy if you want something fairly similar with it's own bits of uniqueness, to My Pet Dragon. Likewise if you haven't read that one but loved this, My Pet Dragon is probably the way to go next.The basic plot of My Crazy Pet Frog has the reader, who is never identified so it could be whatever your child is (ie boy or girl) discovering a frog in their bathtub. The frog is obviously a bit of a compulsive liar and tells the reader it is a number of things including secret agent, dancer, celebrity chef and a heap of other professions. It of course has clothing and props for all these careers. However it's about to realise what its most important job and identity is.
I'll admit, I'm a bit biased. I'm so proud of my brother for writing this book! But I am also delighted to discover what a sweet, funny, touching story he has woven in these pages! The message is wonderful, and the cause is fantastic. Can't wait to buy hard copies of this one and My Little Pet Dragon, and praying for Alyssa's continued recovery!
My 6 year-old boy and 5 year-old daughter loved it. They ask me to read it at least once a week. It's short enough and cute enough that I don't go nuts reading it. The illustrations are quirky enough to keep them entertained, good for almost any age group.Matt
I really enjoy the pictures in this story. I did not realze that there would be a dark side to the storyline. I very well could have missed this before I bought it since the pictures a so cool. At the end it appears the dad is is having issues and has left his family - while the overall story and message is quite uplifting, it doesn't go over so well with our family.
Do you like to pretend? Do you ever pretend to be someone different?The author, Scott Gordon, has written a deliciously funny book for children. He writes about a pet frog who seems to be crazy. He was found in the bathtub playing with a rubber ducky, then he was a froggy Santa. He went on to be a number of different kinds of froggies. He particularly lined to be a super powered frog. All of a sudden a little baby squeak was heard, 'Daddy, I love you just the way you are, please come home.' When you read this book you will understand what occurs.Parents/teachers will enjoy reading this book to their children. The children will like the story of the pet frog and all the things he wanted to be. The children can describe what they would like to be, and then talk about why it is just good to be yourself. There are lessons to be learned in this book, and that is one of the best books for children. I liked the storyline and that lessons to be learned are all very apparent.Recommended. prisrob 11-29-15
This is another very colorful picture book for kids. Just like My Little Pet Dragon this book is made to be read to little ones and for them to delight is the vibrant frog pictures and follow the story of the crazy pet frog.We got this book to read on my new Kindle Fire and the colors and pictures are fabulous!
Adorable book. However, as a single mom whose son's father lives out of state. The ending made me cringe. Luckily my son did not take it to heart, but the wording could have been better. Too many broken homes now-a-days to be so flippant.
