This story about frogs capturing the villain that steals their eggs is adorable. I also love that there are fun facts and activities in the back. Great book to read snuggled up with your little ones!
This is a cute book for the young amateur sleuth. The pictures are eye-catching and the text will keep the child reading to discover the clues along the way until the final pages when “the thief” is uncovered. And there is a bonus...with games to play in the back of the book.
My niece realy enjoyed this story and kept guessing what will happen next. The pictures are bright and full of life. It was fun for me too, to read along. Great book for family time.
