If you guessed this book was all about frogs by the title, then you guessed right. This is a sweet story about a boy and his dog who love to go look for frogs at night. The story begins with the frogs making their sounds very loudly. It almost seems like this bothers the boy and this could be why he goes in search of frogs. As you go on to read, the story becomes silly and fun. The way it is written makes you want to say the story in a rhyme which makes it fun. The layout of the book has the words going in spirals down the page. This is not something you see often, and I think a great idea for this book and theme. It goes along with the frogs who like to jump and leap and make spirals through the air.  There is a little learning about frogs from this book and a beautiful explanation at the end of what a chorus of frogs means. The illustrations really bring this simple, sweet story to life. By the time you finish it you can’t help but smile and believe that frogs are as adorable as the boy thinks they are.

5/5 stars

This is a wonderful book to help children that are just starting to read. In the book, there is a glossary in the beginning of different words that are found in it. There are also sight words that are commonly used for beginning readers. This is a great idea to not only engage the reader but let them practice the words they are going to be reading. The idea in the book is to show the different fun things about Winter. The author uses a dragon which is an appealing way to capture the attention of a reader and encourage them to want to read this book. It is simple enough for anyone to read with two sentences that are two or three words each on the page. This is a great way for early readers to work on enhancing their reading skills. The illustrations are bright and vibrant, bringing to life the words. The illustrations complement the book very well. At the end are two activities for the reader to complete that would help them work on enhancing their skills. Having activities like this making the story more memorable. It also enhances skills which is a great idea for a beginning reading book to have. This a must read for any child who is beginning their journey into learning to read. 5/5
