Bad Frogs - Thacher Hurd

For: Young Kids
2009
$15.99
Rating: 2.5
Endpapers: Chartreuse

Great rhyme and rhythm., bright greens and purples, and lots and lots of frogs (they've counted them - they say there are 170!) live and act like kids. But bad? I wouldn't say bad. I might say naughty. A bit of a difference.

"Making bad noises at the dinner table/Smelling yucky. Talking crummy./Wearing bad hats. Wearing dark glasses./Staying up late./ Kissing their girlfriends,,,," Perfect for little guys, with really fun illustrations of frogs dressed as kids doing all sorts of things.

There's a wonderful two-page spread ("Bad frogs. Very bad frogs.") where the frogs are painting and splashing paint all over the page. It's really cool - I'd love a poster of it -
