Review by Publisher's Weekly Review
Everyone's favorite amphibian stars in Froggy's Day with Dad by Jonathan London, illus. by Frank Remkiewicz, the 14th book in the series. For Dad's special day, Froggy plans a special breakfast, a round of bumper boats and a game of miniature golf-all with more than a few zips, thumps, thunks and bonks tossed in.

Review by School Library Journal Review
K-Gr 3-It's Father's Day, and the endearing young amphibian is looking forward to a special time with his dad. After a less than perfect breakfast, the two go to the park to enjoy in recreational activities such as miniature golf and bumper boats. Even though, in typical Froggy style, not everything goes smoothly-there are a few accidents and lots of plodding and flopping-in the end the day is a happy one for both of them. As in Froggy's previous adventures, the simple, energetic illustrations match the pleasantly ordinary and sentimental tenor of the text. This latest day in the life of Froggy is sure to elicit chuckles from readers and will be a welcome addition to any collection needing appealing stories about father-child relationships.-Holly T.

Review by Horn Book Review
Though Froggy's intentions are good, his Father's Day plans don't turn out quite as expected. He burns breakfast and accidentally hits his father with a baseball bat, then with a golf ball. But the mug he specially hand-lettered for his dad makes up for the mishaps. The simple, slapstick story and the colorful illustrations will please die-hard Froggy fans. (c) Copyright 2010.
