This was a cute book. I found that I wasn't completely annoyed by Froggy, only slightly. His sister is so cute!! Once Froggy got used to her, things weren't so bad =)
This book is great for children to read because it will teach them how to be an older sibling to their younger siblings. Children should read this book because it will make them smile and make them learn about family.
Froggy is awaiting a baby sister. The baby sister is born and this book shows what happens after a baby is born. Froggy watched her be fed, played with, sitting up, crying, and put to sleep. This book is great for K-2nd graders because most will have younger siblings. This can be a book older siblings can read because they might be able to relate more to them.
Each and everyone of us grows at some point in our life. We must be patient and learn to accept things for what they are. This book is geared to all ages because it faces the issue of anticipation in accordance to patience. This is a issue we go through every day of our lives.
Froggy is excited he has a new baby sister but wishes she grew legs so they can do things together. He ends up taking great care of her. All kids will like this especially if they are getting a new sibling. It can teach kids the importance of being a good brother/sister.
This book would be cute to read to younger students. It shows them the proper way to treat younger siblings if they have any. It helps them understand that no matter what they should always be nice to their siblings.
In this book Froggy wants a baby brother, but he gets a baby sister instead.

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.
