Editorial Reviews

Review

"This receives the ATCH seal of approval. ATCH is my 4 year old and he has requested a reprise of this book again tonight "because it's really funny" The illustrations are priceless and the story has a sweet little twist."

--S.Castle "The Critic"

"I have a 1 & 3 year old and they both love this book. It has vivid graphics/colors on white background so they really pop! The text is simple and keeps the attention of small children. All around a great book. I own two books by this publisher and will continue to buy more."

--Raina Fuentes

"My four-year-old thought this little book was fun and thoroughly enjoyed reading it several times. The illustrations are bright, colorful, and immediately drew his attention. Very cute!"

--Julie Ann

5.0 out of 5 stars Again the Fantastic Illustrations Jump this Frog Story Up to Five Stars March 8, 2012

By James N Simpson

Format:Kindle Edition

Like with My Pet Dragon by the same author the written story itself, although good is not only well supported by the brilliantly done illustrations (computer graphic stills), those images actually take the picture book as a whole to a much higher level. Like with the other books, I could easily see the character for each book being released as a collectible figure or range of figures.

I've read four of Scott Gordon's books and would recommend this one as the one to buy if you want something fairly similar with it's own bits of uniqueness, to My Pet Dragon. Likewise if you haven't read that one but loved this, My Pet Dragon is probably the way to go next.

The basic plot of My Crazy Pet Frog has the reader, who is never identified so it could be whatever your child is (ie boy or girl) discovering a frog in their bathtub. The frog is obviously a bit of a compulsive liar and tells the reader it is a number of things including secret agent, dancer, celebrity chef and a heap of other professions. It of course has clothing and props for all these careers. However it's about to realise what its most important job and identity is.

This is another very colorful picture book for kids. Just like My Little Pet Dragon this book is made to be read to little ones and for them to delight is the vibrant frog pictures and follow the story of the crazy pet frog.

We got this book to read on my new Kindle Fire and the colors and pictures are fabulous!

4.0 out of 5 stars Quirky and cute February 22, 2012

By M. Sterling Jones

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

My 6 year-old boy and 5 year-old daughter loved it. They ask me to read it at least once a week. It's short enough and cute enough that I don't go nuts reading it. The illustrations are quirky enough to keep them entertained, good for almost any age group.

5.0 out of 5 stars Funny, Sweet and Surprisingly Touching... December 8, 2011

By Kimberly Gordon

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

I'll admit, I'm a bit biased. I'm so proud of my brother for writing this book! But I am also delighted to discover what a sweet, funny, touching story he has woven in these pages! The message is wonderful, and the cause is fantastic. Can't wait to buy hard copies of this one and My Little Pet Dragon, and praying for Alyssa's continued recovery!

5.0 out of 5 stars My Kids Love It! October 20, 2012

By Brent

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

I cannot praise this book enough. My kids (approaching 3 years old & 4 years old respectively) absolutely LOVE it, and they cackle hysterically every time we read it. "He's silly!" they exclaim at least every other page. I picked this book up on a whim when it was on sale, and I am definitely going to buy more of this author's works. Although the children's book market is flooded with offerings right now, My Crazy Pet Frog stands out due to the high quality of its vibrantly colored illustrations, its humorous tone, and the valuable lesson it imparts at the end.

If his other books are as "kid addictive" as this one, Scott Gordon will have earned a fan for life! :-)
