Froggy Went to the Library is a modern fantasy picture book that explains the journey of Froggy going to the library. It explains to readers of this story that reading is fun, hoping to motivate young children to enjoy reading, just like Froggy. I enjoyed reading this story because it is an exciting, fun book with a vast amount of illustrations which is exciting for kids. It would be a great read aloud book due to the amount of onomatopoeia, which could be fun and engaging to students. Overall, good book that would be great for a fun read aloud as a break in my future classroom or when learning about onomatopoeia.
This book should be read to children because it tells them how important libraries are for people and what they can provide to everyone. Children will enjoy reading this book and want to go to the library after .
Realistic portrayal of library visits ... :-)

Jonathan London was born a "navy-brat" in Brooklyn, New York, and raised on Naval stations throughout the U.S. and Puerto Rico. He received a Masters Degree in Social Sciences but never formally studied literature or creative writing. He began to consider himself a writer about the time he graduated from college. After college he became a dancer show more in a modern dance company and worked at numerous low-paying jobs as a laborer or counselor. He wrote poems and short stories for adults, earning next to nothing despite being published in many literary magazines. For some 20 years before he penned his first children's book, London was writing poetry and short stories for adults. In the early 1970s, he was reading his poems in San Francisco jazz clubs, and those experiences found their way into his witty children's book Hip Cat, which has been featured on the PBS children's television show Reading Rainbow. After writing down the tale The Owl Who Became the Moon in 1989, London began to wonder if other people might want to read it. He picked up his kids' copy of Winnie-the-Pooh and saw that the book was published by Dutton, so he casually decided to send his story to them. Surprisingly enough, they wanted to publish him. Working with different illustrators, and occasionally with co-authors, London has produced literally dozens of books. Most have appeared under his name, but some have come out under a pseudonym, which still remains a secret.He has published over forty books and has earned recognitions from organizations like the National Science Teachers Association.
