Book Review: Frog On His Own

Rating: ★★★★☆

In this book a boy goes to the park with his pet dog and frog, leaves the frog alond to find whatever trouble he can.  The frog flicks out his tongue to catch an insect, which turns out to be a bee.  He disturbs a young couple’s picnic, sinks a young boy’s toy boat (retrieved by his annoyed mother), and joins a baby in its crib (swiping a sip of its bottle).  This is a kind of visual comedy perfect for young children, and simple enough that after a parent helps with interpretation the first time, it may be fully enjoyed alone.
