The story within a story format and the author's biography suggest that Mr. Hahn created these whimsical characters for his grandchildren's amusement. While on an outing to the dinosaur exhibit at the museum with two grandchildren, a human grandfather describes the "evolution" of the "frogasaurus" - a creature that descended from unknown dinosaurs on his father's side of the family and a long line of frogs on his mother's side. Frank is described as being an especially intelligent member of this species. Since this is the first book in a new series, most of the story is devoted to introducing Frank's rather large and extended family, and describing their hometown of Saurusville, which looks much like Bedrock from the old Flintstones cartoons. The simple storyline, brightly colored illustrations, and lovable characters make this an Ideal book for very young children, ages 3 - 8 years old.Barbara Cummings Associate Coordinator Children's Literature and the Sewing ArtsReviewers Consortium Wilsonville, Oregon
