Poor Froggy, he sleeps all winter and has never been able to celebrate Christmas. But this year, his friend Max the beaver has other plans. He wakes Froggy up from his long winter nap to not only wish him a Merry Christmas, but to give him his first Christmas present ever...a Christmas tree. Froggy and Max hurry to wake up Matthew, the turtle and Travis, the bear from their winter hibernations (because Christmas is about friends) and all four head out to find the perfect tree. They carry it back to Froggy's house, decorate it, make home-made presents for Froggy's family (because Christmas is about family too) and then it's time for Froggy to put the star on top of the tree. Over goes the tree as Max shouts "timber"! This wakes Froggy's mom and dad and they have a wonderful celebration, doing everything...opening presents, roasting chestnuts, singing, eating and even having a snowball fight. And as the day ends, Froggy wishes "Merry Christmas to All" Jonathan London has written a funny, happy, gentle story about the real meaning of Christmas...spending time with friends and family. His easy to read text, full of cheerful animal dialogue and wonderful sound effects is complimented by Frank Remkiewicz's colorful, busy, detailed illustrations. Together they've created a wonderful holiday story that's just perfect for pre-schoolers and that's sure to become an instant favorite in your house.
Another great Jonathon London book! My daughter has all of his books and just absolutely loves reading these fantastic books over and over again! And the illustrations by Frank Remkiewicz are just marvelous!All I can say is if you want a good book for your child that is enjoyable and pleasant and has a wonderful character then you need to invest in the Froggy series of books!
Another cute Froggy book and my daughter adores it! She spends hours with her Great-Grandma reading all the Froggy books we've bought over time. And every time someone in the book calls "FROOOOGGGYYY", my daughter's voice rings out! Such sweet memories.
I expected some worn pages, after all Froggy books are read over and over and never get old. I didn't expect pages to be torn. I've gotten other used Froggy books that have no tears. The good news is no words were missing and like all other Froggy books the story is great.
Children are sure to relate to Froggy's forgetfulness, impatience, and fears. His adventures are wonderful. The repetitive text and funny sounds will encourage readers who are sure to be attracted to the hilariously expressive illustrations. I love these books!!!
Wonderful Christmas Froggy book! Froggy runs around and gets ready for Christmas. Easy to read!
Some good values in the book. Emphasis on friends family rather than just gifts and treats. If your kids already know who the characters are from previous books, they will love it even more.
My son greatly enjoys the Froggy series. He reads this at Christmastime to help get in the spirit. And to read how Froggy spends the holiday.
