Product Description

Product Description

Join sprightly Frog and his energetic farmyard friends frolicking down by the cool of the pool - flipping and flopping, splishing and splashing, stomping and stamping in the watery wonderland. A wacky, rhyming text with lots of noises for joining in, and zany illustrations too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Utterly fantastic book!, 25 Jul 2003
My 2 and a half year old LOVES this book, in fact since getting it out of the library (and subsequently buying our own copy, bedtimes have become less stressful! It is a rhyming book, and you just can't help getting caught up in the silliness of it all.
No-one will be disapoointed buying this book - its right up there with Dr Zeuss!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Book, 28 Jan 2007
Our 3 year old can't get enough of frog and his friends dancing by the cool of the pool. Our copy is battered and shabby from being read so often. The illustrations are vibrant, the cadences of the wording are just right, and read with the appropriate enthusiasm in the voice, it's a 100% winner.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant!, 24 Feb 2009
By N. Liddell "NJL" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
My 2 year old son loves this book and makes me read it to him again and again and again!

The illustrations are wonderful and keeps his attention while the rhyming is the perfect pace to fire his interest and imagination.

A true gem of a book!
