Totally delightful storytelling, for both children and adults! I very much enjoyed this wisely cautionary tale of a frog who discovers what's at home may be just as important as the glory of the skyscrapers. Cute illustrations and a gently encouraging tone will entice readers of all ages.

This is a great chapter book for young readers. A nice transition book from picture books to more involved chapter books. This little frog is longing for the things he doesn't have, but when he gets them, he realizes the life that he had earlier may not be so bad after all. The story was fun, though I wish there had been a few more pictures to show the frog's adventures. The artwork is bright and you can't help finding that frog cute! Thanks, Net Galley for the ARC!

Full Text: This is a cute little story about Frijibold the Frog. Instead of the ordinary life at the pond with his extended family, he longs to do something more grand, and hatches a plan to land in a new apartment building. Fate seems to smile on him… for a time. But he soon learns that the grass isn’t always greener on the other side of the road.

This is a very good book for newly independent readers, or even as a read-aloud for younger children. The fairly short chapters make it easy to navigate; the language is straight forward and simple to follow. The occasional pictures are bright and fun. Kids will probably especially enjoy the menu for Mrs. Boggel’s Pond Paradise Café and its description of all the frog delicacies offered there.

This is a nice variation of the "country boy goes to the big city" theme. I'd like to have a glow-in-the-dark motorized lily pad to ride around on....

This book is a fun romp through a frog's dream of living in a skyscraper and being a star. He finds out that what you want and dream of isn't always as it seems.

My kids enjoyed this book a lot! I find my twins re-reading this one quite often. I enjoy books that can be read by both children and adults, and this is a good one. Sometimes children's book tend to be more repetitive, but this cute story is engaging and enjoyable.
