How does it eat?
The questions capture my 5 month old's interest, and the noises are fun to make. I improvise voices and energy levels with each animal so it seems to change with each reading. As he grows it will encourage him to enjoy his food.

Froggy Book and Frog Set4 reviews

Viking Childrens Books, 1997
Really gets kids involved
I gave this book to my niece. I think my sister and brother-in-law have enjoyed it as much as she has. She just squeals when Froggy gets called in. She wants to read it over and over. A fun time for the whole family.

Great Book - but the two versions are not the same!
My 3 year old son checked this book out from the library and fell in love with it. It's a great book. I ordered the "hardcover" version, which is actually a board book and is missing the end part of the story. The school and library binding edition includes a re-cap at the end that is not in the board book. I decided to order the school and library binding edition for my son and save the ...

4 1/2 Reversive Recursive: Fun With Froggy
Another in the prolific Jonathan London's "Froggy" series, this book about the amphibious one is a recursive story about all the clothes you must wear on a snowy day--and all the clothes you must take off (in the reverse order) when you forget to put some on.
In this Froggy tale, our green hero wakes up with incredible enthusiasm--it's like he was raised on caffeine--and he just CANNOT wait to ...

Park Beat: Rhymin' Through the Seasons6 reviews
Jonathan London
HarperCollins Publishers, 2001
Heard it read
...my local NPR station read this book and I found it absolutely delightful!!! In fact I heard it read again on Sunday. the delight in ordinary things, the quick rhymes, the way the illustrations were described captivated me. I knew I had to buy the book even though I'm far beyond the recommended age limits. Perhaps you need to be an adult to appreciate the innocence and beauty.

Eat, Cried Little Pig3 reviews
Jonathan London
Dutton Juvenile, 2003
Piggyback Onto This Book!
His first word is "Eat!" and little pig follows the dictates of his appetite to hilarious ends in this is wildly funny and superbly structured book. Author Jonathan London's slightly subversive humor, funny rhymes, and surprise denouement make a reading feast out of a typical recipe for a kids' book: Take one messy animal (or child, depending on taste), combine with lots of food, and watch the ...

Let's Go Froggy!5 reviews
Jonathan London
Scholastic Cassettes, 1996
A wonderful book for any young child!
This book has become my 2 and 4 year olds favorite story. They love to see froggy looking for his misplaced items and it has taught them to look for their own items when they are lost.

Hip Cat
This is one of the most amazing children's books I have ever read. Jonathan London is able to convert prose into music. You have a sense of being inside jazz and understanding what it is from a completely emotional standpoint. I was thrilled to have the pleasure of reading this book to my 5 year old son and to introduce him to what jazz feels like. We listened to several Jazz albums after ...

If I Had A Horse2 reviews

I would ride a horse of flowers . . .
My daughter and I love to read this poetic book over and over again! It has inspired us to write poetry and paint our own illustrations to go with the beautiful ones in this book. Because of this book, my 5 year old daughter knows what mangroves are. We have debates about what our favorite pages are (mine is the carnival, hers is the volcano) and Laura pretends to be an iguana hiding in the ...

Outstanding! Our 15 month old loves to have it read to him.
This book is wonderful. Our fifteen month old loves to have it read to him. The illustrations are wonderful. There are a number of different animals, and our baby loved to point them out. The pages are nice and large with lots, but not too much, to look at. The text is equally interesting and pleasant, and its rhyming nature makes it pleasant to read out loud

Fire Race: A Karuk Coyote Tale of How Fire Came to the People3 reviews
Lanny Pinola
Chronicle Books, 1997
To read aloud
My highest recommendation on this book is due to the fact that my five-year-old grandson loves the book and asks me to read it over and over to him. The illustrations are very nice and colorful, the book is done with wit and humor and is a fun read.

5 Plus Stars!
It is a pity this book will soon get lost as copies begin to disappear. I suggest you snap up your used copy as soon as possible. This beautiful book is simple, with lovely rhymes about a boy that is saying hello to nature during his day, and at the end saying good night to the moon. It is a relaxing sweet story to put your children to bed, and it is an absolute favorite of my son, and he ...

A wondeful find
Seriously...the lady at the grocery store recommend this book for our toddler and I can't tell you how much he seems to like it. It's nice to get a chance to read a children's book that doesn't insult children's intelligences.

Crocodile: Disappearing Dragon2 reviews
Jonathan London
Candlewick, 2001
stunning oil paintings, rhythmic text combine to take your breath away
This book is amazing. I never thought twice about the life of a crocodile! Every page pulls you deeper into a sultry swamp, teeming with life. The illustrations are rich and deep, but it's the text that really makes this book something special. You are truly holding your breath as you turn each page, drawn into the magic and mystery of this amazing animal. I recommend this book to anyone ...

thirteen moons on turtle's back3 reviews
joseph bruchac, jonathan london
Scholastic, 1992
Traditional View of Seasonal meanings
This book is an excellent work of Native American children's literature. Joseph Bruchac is a well-known Abenaki story-teller who profiles in this book the thirteen moons of the year, and profiles for each moon what is important about that season to different Native Nations. The artwork is a beautiful compliment to the story. If you are looking for a solid and sensitive look at inter-tribal ...

Like Butter on Pancakes3 reviews
Jonathan London, G. Brian Karas
Puffin, 1998
Do the pajama dance!
London captures the imagery of sunlight and moonlight as a child's day unfolds and awakens his senses to the world around him. One can almost hear the duet of the whistle of the teakettle and the sizzle of frying bacon as slippers "whisper" across the kitchen floor. This book begs to be read aloud, again and again. It is sheer poetry.
