This review is from: Big Boss (Ready-to-Read) (Hardcover)

I used to read a book to my children every night as they crawled into bed. Sometimes I knew the stories I was reading, but I got this from the library and just read it cold-turkey. I laughed till I cried at the audacity of this frog! It was so funny, I had to read it to my husband. Then I took it to work and read it at lunch to my co-workers. Your children will love it and so will you. I am going to buy it to share it with my students at school.
