Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreSchool-Grade 1. Froggy wakes from hibernation in the middle of the winter. Despite his mother's urgings to go back to sleep, he is determined to go out and play. He puts on different articles of clothing, each with its own fun sound effect. Each time he ventures out, his mother reminds him that he has forgotten something, prompting him to go back inside, undress, and start again. He becomes so exhausted that he decides it is easier to just stay asleep. This story is just as hilarious in Spanish as it is in English. Storytellers will enjoy making sounds that will encourage young listeners to participate in the telling. The cartoonlike illustrations and funny facial expressions make this a wonderful read-aloud.?Diane Tureski, New York Public Library

I'm a Spanish teacher, and I use this book to teach clothing words and how to say put on, etc. It's great for that, but it's a cute story for little kids anyway.

I love this book in both English and Spanish. As a Spanish teacher I use it to introduce both clothing and reflexive verbs. It's a great translation.
Me encanta este libro. Es un libro divertido que yo, como maestra, uso para introducir la ropa y los verbos reflexivos. Conozco bien el cuento y los estudiantes les gusta cuando lo leo con mucha expresión.

This review is from: Froggy se viste (Spanish Edition) (Hardcover)

I am only familiar with this Spanish version, and when i taught Bilingual Pre-K/Kinder in Texas it was a classroom favorite!! Now with my own 20month old son it has had the same result!! (We began reading this book to him earlier, but he really started enjoying the book at 15 months). The book is repetetive (a good thing) for the kids to be able to anticipate the ocurrances, and they love the sounds as Froggy puts on his articles of clothing in order to be able to go out and play in the snow. (If you act it out as Froggy puts on the clothes they love it even more and begin to imitate you.) Kids learn articles of clothing as well as have a lot of fun with the story! A great addition to a child's library!
