Froggy Bakes A Cake

Froggy Bakes a Cake, by Jonathan London, is about a frog names Froggy. Froggy wants to do something special for his mother on her birthday so he decides to make her some mud pies outside while she worked in the garden. Froggy's father called out to him from inside the house and Froggy went inside to help him bake a cake for his mothers birthday. Well Froggy just seemed to know everything about baking. He mixed seven eggs, a bag of flour and a full box of sugar, a carton of milk, ten handfuls of chocolate covered flies, a box of baking powder and a stick of butter. Froggy then helps his father with decorating the house for his mother's special occasion. As he calls his mother inside something disastrous has happened.
The Froggy books are fun books and have great pictures to follow along with. Kids of all ages could relate to this book, there have always been times when kids have wanted to do things all by themselves and they don't always turn out perfect. This would be a great book to read in class or at home with your children. I personally enjoyed this book and would like to find many more Froggy books.

  2. I especially love the pages where it says, "Froggy," and he responds, "What?" (but usually drug out over most of the page. Since it is a common feature in Froggy books, young readers quickly come to expect what it says and enjoy saying that part.
