Review by Publisher's Weekly Review
Favorite characters and series boast new additions. Adding another adventure to the list of perennial favorites, Froggy's Sleepover by Jonathan London, illus. by Frank Remkiewicz, chronicles the frolicking fellow's first overnight away from home at Max's, and the two friends spend so much time schlepping between the houses for various comforts that they do not get much sleep.

Review by Horn Book Review
Froggy can't wait for the sleepover at Max's. That night, however, Froggy sees scary shapes so they go to his house instead. Then Max gets a tummy ache, and they return to his house. As each becomes apprehensive, they go back and forth all night long. Both the text and animated illustrations contain humor as Froggy tackles his sleepover fears. (c) Copyright 2010.

Review by Kirkus Book Review
London's ever-endearing Froggy attempts to swing his first sleepover at his friend Max's house. Luckily, the two homes are just across the wetlands from one another. Like the other Froggy books, readers will likely have a sense of what's coming around the corner--qualms are besetting Froggy by the time the first ghost story is finished--but as he likes to do, London will take them a few corners further. Rather than beat a simple retreat, Froggy and Max start a shuttle service between their homes, each deciding in turn that a little something is necessary, some pink lemonade at 1 A.M. for instance. Well-honed illustrations from Remkiewicz depicting the dark of the night and the mild cavortings of Froggy and Max will give readers a taste of both nighttime's spookiness and the beautiful sanctuary of home.
