Review by School Library Journal Review

K-Gr 3-This tale about the beloved Froggy will not disappoint devoted fans. School is over and it is time for him to go to Camp Run-A-Muck. After two false starts, he arrives and is happy to find that its leader is his long-suffering principal, Mr. Mugwort. Froggy is uncomfortable because he doesn't know anyone, but he soon makes friends and enters into the fun. Children will be delighted when he accidentally dumps eggs on Mr. Mugwort's head and later shoots him with a suction-cup arrow. As always, London's text is succinct, snappy, and full of fun sound effects. Remkiewcz's watercolor illustrations are humorous and action packed. This is a great book for youngsters who may be worried about attending overnight camp for the first time, or for anyone who just loves Froggy.-Donna Cardon, Provo City Library, UT (c) Copyright 2010.

Review by Horn Book Review

Fun-loving Froggy is on the loose again, this time at Camp Run-A-Muck. After a brief bout with homesickness, Froggy proves to be more than a match for Mr. Mugwort, the camp director. From food fights and cannonballs to water battles and campfire sing-alongs, the humorous cartoon drawings show Froggy and his friends frolicking on the shores of Lake Winnemucca. (c) Copyright 2010.
