Review by Horn Book Review
Each of these wordless books about the adventures of a boy and a rambunctious frog is a tiny masterpiece of storytelling, with expressive characters and easy-to-follow action. Thankfully, no attempt was made to change the cozy trim size, colorize the art, or--heaven forbid--add words to these reissues. From HORN BOOK Spring 2003, (c) Copyright 2010.
