Wit and kindness save the day!
This is such a sweet, gentle, loving little book. It's about two brother toads, Morton and Warton, one very stodgy, and the other more of an adventurer. Warton, the braver brother, decides to go out into the snow (toads are supposed to hibernate in winter) to visit his aunt. Almost instantly he is plucked up by an owl who wants to eat him, but decides to save him for a week, to have as a special ...

Fun to read out loud!
This is a great book if you have small children. They love it because it's fun to read out loud and it isn't so long that you get out of breath. This is a must have that I enjoy reading over and over again and my little ones never get tired of it.

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 ...

Sara's Review on Jubal's Wish
I think Jubal's Wish is a very good story. The illustration is very colorful and lively. I love Audrey Wood, she is one of my favorite authors and her stories are really cool. Of all of Audrey Woods books I would have to say that Jubal's Wish is my favorite, it's a really good book.

Why do I love Frog and Toad?
Why do I love Frog and Toad? I'm not really sure. Not much really happens in these stories. The illustrations are beautiful but rather small. The eponymous friends carry on their friendship through mild misunderstandings and misadventures, always ready to forgive each other and forget. These gentle stories are among my favorite kids' books. I have fond memories of Frog and Toad from my childhood, ...

The best kids book I've seen in a long time
My 2-1/2 year old daughter received this book for Christmas from her aunt and uncle (because she was enchanted by the frogs in their pond when we visited earlier in the year). She and I love this book. It's so much fun to read and it's a great story. The other day we were going for long car ride so I gave her the book while I popped in the CD. WOW! It was wonderful - she could follow along ...

The interesting plot line allows for practice of vocabulary and sentence structures used in the context of "going to a restaurant". This topic is of course useful at the beginning stages of language learning. A fun resource for use by teachers and students both.

Ingenious flip book
Reviewed by Conner Aguren (age 3) and Mom for Reader Views (2/08)
"Ribbit! Flip and See Who Froggy Can Be" is just as the title suggests. The cleverly designed book dissects Froggy into three sections: eyes, mouth, and torso. Each section has a description that, when read together, makes a nifty rhyme. Over 400 combinations can be made.
"Did you like the book?"
"I liked it a whole lot!"
