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.

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!

As a Spanish teacher, I have used the English version of this book, _Froggy Gets Dressed_, with my own translations, as a story for the classroom and with a little neighbor. The tale always delights children and in the classroom, it serves as a meaningful and fun way to introduce or review clothing words. (Once students have heard the story, watch them wiggle in anticipation of the moment when Froggy's mother calls out a particularly embarrassing oversight in Froggy's preparations to go play in the snow!) A translation as good as this one is said to be can only enhance the story's value and fun for children.
