Oi Frog!

What do our readers think of Oi Frog!? (Generated from the text of reviews of the book)

Children enjoy the funny rhymes, bright pictures and chance to guess where each animal sits, and many find the silly ending especially amusing. Some children lose interest because the repeating pattern makes the story feel a little long.

What does the Pageticker team say about Oi Frog!?

Oi Frog! is a wonderfully daft, highly repeatable rhyming romp, with Kes Gray’s wordplay and Jim Field’s bright, expressive illustrations working brilliantly together. The bossy cat’s seating rules invite children to join in, guess the next rhyme and enjoy a satisfyingly silly surprise; the repetitive format may feel a touch long for very young listeners, but it is excellent fun at storytime.
