When Froggy's mom has a baby girl (Pollywogilina) instead of a boy, he's disappointed. When she's too young to play with him, he's disappointed again. But once she's old enough, he teaches her how to catch flies and changes her diaper (sort of), and the two become inseparable. Fans will enjoy this simple, fast-paced story and the bold and energetic illustrations.

PreS-Gr 2-Froggy is excited about the upcoming arrival of a new sibling, but is disappointed when the baby turns out to be a sister rather than the brother he had hoped for. The story is appealing though a bit too long. While the repetition of sounds and the parents' calls for "Froggy!" will appeal to children, this adventure is not quite on a par with previous visits, such as Froggy Gets Dressed (1992) and Let's Go, Froggy! (1994, both Viking). However, it is sure to please this lovable character's many fans.-Andrea Tarr, Corona Public Library, CA Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.
