Book Reviews of Beware of the Frog
Book Review: This was a quaint and funny little story that is sure to elicit lots of giggles from the little ones! GOBBLE! GOBBLE!
Summary: 5 Stars
Mrs. Collywobbles lived in a little stone house "one the edge of a big, dark, scary wood." She wore a very colorful outfit complete with a string of pearls. She had a cute little red purse and an umbrella that would keep the raindrops off her head, but it couldn't keep her safe from all those scary critters in the woods. The only thing that could help her was her pet frog that sat on a mat on her stoop. Mrs. Collywobbles peered out of her kitchen window and looked a bit frightened when she saw the thieving Greedy Goblin emerging from the woods.
"Nickerty-noo, nickerty-noo, if I get a chance, I'll steal from you . . . " The Goblin was a scary looking thing with a yellow pointy nose, ears and yucky looking toes. Not to worry because the little pet frog went "GOBBLE" and about the only thing you could see was one of those yucky feet. SLURP! Well, Mrs. Collywobbles moved upstairs to the bathroom and when she peered out she saw a blue Smelly Troll coming out of the woods. Now he was really stinky. Pee yew! "Welly-welly, welly-welly, I'm awfully slimy and awfully smelly . . . " On the garden gate he saw the sign warning him about that a frog, but do you think he paid any attention?
This was a quaint and funny little story that is sure to elicit lots of giggles from the little ones. Dark, scary woods, goblins, trolls and things like ogres are usually things to be afraid of, but in this book the silly and colorful artwork makes them harmless and downright goofy looking. When the frog GOBBLES them up with a big slurp, your youngster is bound to laugh, especially if you use and exaggerated and expressive tone of voice. The little twist at the end makes it a `sure to please' story. If you're looking for a silly, but fun yarn, this one might strike your fancy!
Summary of Beware of the Frog
With deliciously ugly villains and a gasp-inducing ending, this quirky tale of the unexpected will have readers croaking with laughter.Sweet old Mrs. Collywobbles lives on the edge of a big, dark, scary wood, so it?s a good thing that she has a pet frog to protect her. Too bad for the Greedy Goblin, the Smelly Troll, and the Giant Hungry Ogre, who don?t take this little amphibian seriously (GOBBLE)!
