Notes

2013 Baker’s Dozen (PA Center for the Book) Best Children’s Book for Family Literacy

http://pabook.libraries.psu.edu/familylit/bakersdozen/2013/index2.html

One of the “very best picture books published in 2012”

These six slurpy very short stories will tickle funny bones and make beginning readers laugh-out-loud. Frog loves to eat flies and in the first five chapters of this comic-style book, the clever, slurping frog uses a little word-play and trickery to end up with a fly snack. In the sixth story, turn-about is only fair and the joke is on Frog as he gets a slurping bear surprise!
