Reader, meet Frogs and Dog—you won’t be sorry.

School Library Journal

K-Gr 2—Dog really wants to play with Frog, Frog, and Frog, but they are not interested. Dog can't seem to do anything the Frogs like to do—like hop! Plus, Dog's playing tends to end in some sort of accidental mayhem, like fending off a swarm of angry bees. But will the Frog trio change their minds when Dog steps in to save them from scary Bear? This accessible chapter book, styled in three short stories, will be of interest to most young readers. The text utilizes humor, repetition, and rhyming to build fluency. Trasler's cartoon-like illustrations are bright and expressive. VERDICT This early reader would be an appropriate selection for any new reader who delights in unlikely friendship stories and depictions of physical comedy.-Tiffany Davis, Mount Saint Mary College, Newburgh, NY
