内容简介Frog has a problem. Burping makes him happy, but all the other frogs think it's disgusting. When he finds a town where everyone loves to burp, he finally realises that the other frogs may have been right after all. This comedy of bad manners will have children laughing out loud. And they will discover, like Frog, that a little manners can go a long way. Lisa Kopelke's lively text and witty illustrations showcase Frog and his overly gassy friends.

PreSchool-Grade 2-Frog has a problem. He loves to eat and he loves to burp. When he's a tadpole, the other frogs think his behavior is "cute," but as he gets bigger and his belches get louder, they begin to think it's quite disgusting. Finally, unable to stand it any longer, they send him "up the river." Far away from home, he hears burping in the nearby town and discovers other frogs that eat and burp day and night. At first life is blissful, but then even he becomes fed up with their bad manners. Spotting publicity about the Great Annual Frog Jam back home, he returns in disguise, "nervous that he would not be welcome." When he arrives, a crowd is already gathered around the Three-Beetle Chili, and the mayor's family and others are lapping it up. When Baby Mayor emits "a gigantic burp," everyone else follows, including Frog, and his disguise flies off. "You are excused!" Mr. Mayor declares, and the outcast is enthusiastically welcomed back. From the first page that introduces the lovable, bottle-green frog, fork in hand, to the final spread that shows lumpy green frogs in a circle, holding webbed hands, children will revel in Frog's antics. The scenes of slimy-looking food and clouds of belches come to life in warm-toned, acrylic spreads. This will be a great read-aloud, but get ready to hear listeners do some burping of their own.

K-Gr. 2. Frog has been burping steadily since he was a tadpole, but as he grows older he finds that his burps, once exclaimed over, are no longer acceptable. The other frogs hold a meeting and exile Frog up the river. It isn't long before he finds a community of frogs that belch freely with no apologies. But what seems like paradise soon pales, as Frog tires of burps, 24/7. Disguised with fake nose, mustache, and glasses, he returns home for the annual food festival, where his old compatriots eat so much that they let loose with some tremendous belches. At least they say, "Excuse me!" Kopelke's expansive acrylic illustrations are loaded with energy and exaggerated humor, including some gaseous explosions destined to prompt laughter as furniture flies. Kids are sure to enjoy this and yearn for the obvious, more disgusting, sequel.Todd Morning
