This book is your typical Froggy book. If you are familiar with Jonathan London's Froggy series, then you know what to expect. There is the usual event where Froggy turns "more red in the face than green" and the reference to underwear. I teach 2nd grade, and my students still have that "EWWWWW" reaction to underwear or nakedness, so the book has that shock effect. The only thing that I do not like is the "trick or treat, smell my feet, give me something good to eat. If you don't, I don't care, I'll pull down your underwear", but the kids love it. I just don't love it when they repeat the verse or go home and say it!I love the touches of the changing of w's to v's to sound like a vampire, and of course the abundant onomotapeia. If you love Froggy, then you'll love this book! It is perfect to add to your collection of Halloween stories to read before going out!
There is a line in the book where Froggy says, "Trick or treat, smell my feet, give me something good to eat. If you don't I don't care. I'll pull down your underwear." Not what I want my 5 year old son repeating in his Kindergarten class. This is possibly better suited for older kids who are well versed on behavior expectations. At any rate, I can only see kids running into trouble with this one with the lack of humor schools have nowadays.
Our first grade class rated all of Jonathon London's Froggy books. Froggy's Halloween was rated the favorite Jonathon London book. Jonathon London has made reluctant readers excited about reading. Kids love watching Froggy get into trouble.
I am a fan of the Froggy series. The kids that I work with just love it. I am very disappointed in this book, primarily because of one verse. "Trick or Treat,smell my feet, give me someting good to eat, if you don't I don't care, ILL PULL DOWN YOUR UNDERWEAR! If you are familiar with the Froggy books, you already know that the kids usually get a kick out him making references to underwear. In the first book " Froggy Gets Dressed". It was cute ( " You forgot your underwear!) In this book, it may be sing-songy but the part about referencing pulling down someones underwear is highly inapppropriate. It may be a kids rhyme, but it this day and age of sexual misconduct by adults and kids alike, any references to pulling down someones underwear for fun or not, is best left out of the books. It would take just one kid to try to do this to someone at school, because they read that in a book, now you have got a sexual harrassment case going on. Not funny at all.
Froggy's HalloweenWe think everyone should read the book Froggy's Halloween because Mrs. Mullins's 2nd grade class LOVED this book. We loved this book because it was funny and there was a surprise ending.We thought many parts of this book were SO funny. We laughed when Froggy sang a silly trick or treat song and got a BIG smooch from Frogilina. All students will connect with Froggy's struggle to pick a Halloween costume. We laughed as he pretended to be a superhero Frog, a vampire frog, a ghost frog, and a frog prince.This book ended with a sad surprise. When Froggy got home from trick-or-treating, he had no candy left because his sword poked a hole in his bag. It all worked out because Mama Frog had a lot of candy leftover. For some reason, no one else liked her chocolate-covered flies! They were Froggy's favorite!!Our class disagreed on one part of this story. In Froggy's silly trick-or-treat song, he says the word "underwear". Some of the kids laughed and others thought it was inappropriate.Even though we didn't agree on this one small detail, we do all agree on one thing. You and your children should read this book for Halloween!! Happy Reading!!
It's almost Halloween and Froggy still can't decide what costume to wear. Should he be super frog, ghost frog or vampire frog? How about a football player, cowboy or even a zombie. All week he gets ready for Halloween, carving pumpkins and hanging spider webs and ghosts. He's even practiced saying "Trick or treat, smell my feet./Give me something good to eat." Finally when the big day comes, Froggy decides to be the Frog Prince, complete with crown and sword. Now he's off for a scary evening of tricks, treats, surprises and fun..... No one captures the essence of a busy pre-schooler as well as Jonathan London and Frank Remkiewicz. Mr London's lively text is full of sound effects, energy and humor and complemented by Mr Remkiewicz's bold, bright and expressive artwork. Together they've authored a clever and entertaining story about an engaging character that your little "Froggy" will easily identify with. This is the perfect read aloud story to help everyone get into the Halloween spirit. Froggy's Halloween is part of a marvelous series that youngsters just can't get enough of. Read them all and enjoy!
We own several Froggy books, and they're pretty popular with my two boys. Yes, Froggy usually mentions his underwear and we all giggle. Fine. This book, however, crossed a line with me. Froggy jokes about pulling down another person's underwear if they don't give him any candy. Not just once, but TWICE. Now, I'm not a huge prude, but this kind of talk is totally unnecessary in a children's book. And heaven forbid if my three-year-old repeated the line to a fellow preschooler. He'd probably be kicked out for sexual harrassment! I took Froggy back and told the clerk about the problem. Her eyes widened and she said, "Seriously???" Glad to see it's not just me.
