Customer Reviews

Brings you back to when you were in first grade!

How awkward and yucky it was to even think about kissing anyone, let alone kissing a member of the opposite sex!! Again, very funny dialogue and pictures!!! Excellent read for kids!!

Curiously Funny!!

My son is 4 years old and loves his Froggy books and Little Critter. He thinks (and so do I)Froggy is extremely funny. We both enjoy reading these books together. Especially when Froggy stands up, when at his desk,staring at Frogolina. These books are perfectly in sync with readers ages 3-6 year olds. Very humorous and silly enough to make an adult chuckle!!!!

I used to love this book...

When I was a little girl I would read all of the Froggy books over and over, and when I pulled this book out of the attic, I was amazed to find that I still found it sweet (yet it didn't grab my attention like it used to). My friends and I would read it together and scream, "Eeew!!!" because, of course, it is a KISS and we 5 year olds do not appreciate love very much yet. Even though I'm much older now, I still find time to read lots of old books that I used to love, and the Froggy series is an adorable collection that I will always keep around for posterity. ~A Book Worm~

Love is in the Air.....

It's the week before Valentine's Day, and Froggy's in love. There's a new girl in his class, Frogilina, and he just can't take his eyes off her. He's mooning and staring and when she smiles at him, "his insides got all soft and wiggly, like he'd had caterpillars for breakfast." All week long Frogilina sits with him at lunch giving him little treats from her lunch bag. It's a match made in heaven. That is until Valentine's Day. Frogilina has an extra special surprise for Froggy, something he never expected. It turned his face red, it made his tummy feel weird, he couldn't eat, not even his dessert, and it made all his friends laugh and tease him. Frogilina gave Froggy a big, juicy kiss, right on his cheek..... Nobody captures the essence of an irrepressible preschooler like Jonathan London and Frank Remkiewicz. Mr London's joyful, spirited text is full of energy and sound effects, and begs to be read out loud. Mr Remkiewicz's bold, bright, and expressive artwork enhances the story, and together they use humor to take some of the mystery and embarrassment out of a real life situation. Perfect for preschoolers, Froggy's First Kiss is an engaging and entertaining story with a happy ending that solves all of Froggy's love problems, and a wonderful Valentine's Day read kids will want to hear again and again.

Froggy is back

This book is very cute. The story is entertaining and fun. I have loved the Froggy character ever since reading FROGGY GETS DRESSED. The illustrations are very bright and catching. The story about Froggy's first kiss could apply to so many childrens feeling as well as adults. How did you feel with your first kiss. My students love for me to do voice changes with the Froggy stories. I have reread so many of Froggys stories over and over to my students.
