Bookroo's summary

In a bog, a small green frog feasts on ticks, fleas, and more, growing bigger with each bite. But when a gator arrives, the frog's size becomes a problem. Can he escape the gator's jaws and return to his normal self? This playful tale introduces counting in a fun, rhythmic way, perfect for young readers.

From the publisher

From the bestselling author of “Bear Snores On” comes this hilariously illustrated story that teaches young readers the concept of counting from one to five and back again. Full color.

4.5

A funny story that also teaches counting! The rhyme in this book flows well and grows as the story progresses, though it can be a little bit of a mouthful. :) The watercolor illustrations feel perfect for the swamp where the frog lives. This is a fun book, but I wouldn't necessarily want to read it over and over.
