Back Cover: Froggy pulls on his boots – Zup! Puts on his hat – zat! Ties on his scarf – Zwit! Tugs on his mitten – Zum! But what did Froggy forget?

Mine: My nephews know I love all books that have to do with frogs, so they bought me a set of several of the “Froggy” series for Christmas.
Frogs are suppose to sleep through winter (as should everyone else), but he didn’t want to there was snow out. As he dressed to go out he forgot something – his pants. He came in and got dressed all over again and then he forgot his shirt and coat. He once again comes in to try to get dressed – what no long johns? Once more time he comes back in – it’s just too much and he decides to go back to bed.
That’s the way I feel – why else live in California. The snow is always fun and pretty, but the layers of close that are needed are often too much.

Back Cover: It is Froggy’s mother’s birthday, and Froggy wants to make her a cake all by himself! In the kitchen, Froggy finds out that baking a cake is a little harder – and messier! – than he thought. But with a pinch of imagination and an extra dash of silliness, Froggy will serve up a homemade birthday cake his mother will never forget!

Mine: My nephews know I love all books that have to do with frogs, so they bought me a set of several of the “Froggy” series for Christmas. I started with this one, since my birthday is coming up.
What a wonderful story of not following a recipe and having an exploding cake. I’m one of those that cook by the book, so this was a story about my worst fears of not following the recipe.
