Customer Reviews

Kids will beg to hear this book read out loud.

I am a preschool teacher and mother of 4. My 2 year-old classroom loves this book. It flows wonderfully read out loud. I have adapted the story using animal props and puppets. The kids love it. It is a great book to begin teaching science concepts such as the food chains and habitats. It makes a great addition to theme related activities involving frogs / pond life. If I have to have only one book with me at circle time this one is the one I know will grab the childrens' attention and hold it for multiple readings. A wonderful gift and a must own for every parent and/or teacher.

A Must if you have a boy!

Oh my what a book! I saw this at babies r us and didn't even think about it - just picked it up and bought it. It is just the neatest thing - I LOVE that sticky tongue on the front of the book. We really like frogs in our family and this one really is awesome. Cute story - teaches about the food chain which is interesting. My son just loves this book - pulling the tongue and hearing it snap is just a recipe for giggles! Just a really, really cute idea and well thought out. Thanks a bunch to the author and publisher. It's just one of those very unique items that you just have to have, and then buy for everyone else on your list! Love it!

We have this book memorized........

We have read this book so much we have it memorized. I have to say that that the first time I read the book, we did experience a bit of shock at the way it ended. You are expecting something different and my son said, "Mom, what happened!" So then I was able to explain how the food chain works in nature. The long sticky-stretchy tongue came off of our book---maybe we read the book too much?? But after 3 children, the book is still the favorite. My 2 year old follows me around the house wanting me to read it over and over....I recite the story while cooking dinner and he sits on the couch and looks at the book....his favorite is the WHOOP! and SLURP! sounds I make.

A fun book for kids!

Although the story doesn't send an important message, it is silly and fun, and the words flow fairly well. The book illustrations are fun and the ending has an unexpected twist. The book is fun on its own, but the "icky sticky" tongue on the front of the book sends my kids (and me) into hysterics. (Tip: Be sure to read the cleaning instructions on the back of the book to keep the tongue sticky.) My kids (9 months and 2 1/2 years) love this book! I have bought copies for other children to share the fun.

A delightful book, full of fun and whimsical illustrations!!

Dawn Bently and Salina Yoon have teamed up to create a wonderful children's book! I have read this book to my kindergarten class and they loved it, asking to read it again and again! The predictable text and colorful illustrations make it easy to comprehend, and do guided and shared reading activities! The actual "sticky tongue" on the cover was a clever addition to draw children into the book! I have made it a part of my permanent spring reading collection!
