RANITO

Froggy #1

by Paige Walshe

Froggy is just a small, slimy guy trying to navigate the big wide pond, and there’s no end of sticky situations for him to get caught up in this young comic!

A small pond like any other lies in the forest, but dwelling in this pond is no ordinary Froggy. He’s a little bit of a klutz, and making friends with local wizards, falling foul of picnicking humans, and befriending giant fish are all in a day’s work for this slimy guy. Learning how to deal with big feelings, big magic spells, and big fish in the big world can be a lot for a little frog, but he’s not giving up any time soon.

Paige Walshe potrebbe scrivere l’Amleto ma Shakespeare non avrebbe mai potuto scrivere Froggy.

[Reading_ Tamishly]

The cutest!!! I love Froggy and the friends and his family!

It is so cosy and warm and cute and adorable!

I will continue reading Froggy at Webtoons 💕

[Richard Howlett]

I read this with my six year old, and we both had a really great time! There's a lot of silliness, plus a few proper laugh out loud moments. It has some heart to it as well, but mostly it's just a series of short, funny adventures that come together to make one big adventure for one little frog.

[Edith Bowers]

Absolutely brilliant. Followed from WEBTOON and it’s genuinely so adorable and heartfelt and sweet and it made me tear up at the end there. I love it so much, ADORE FROGGY SO MUCH

The sun is shining, and Froggy is slimeing and ready to hop off on an adventure.Froggy's adventure is jam-packed with so many different experiences.Along the way, he crashes a snail's birthday party, helps two bees fall in love, learns how to bite humans, and gives a wizard a run for his money. This is an utterly sweet and adorable graphic novel about stepping outside your comfort zone, following your heart, and discovering what the world has to offer. It is gorgeously illustrated, and it encompasses the wholesome goodness of friendship and acceptance.

This is so cute. I follow Paige on Instagram and was excited when I found out a book was coming out! I love these characters, that poor snail froggy thinks is delivering mail to his family, a fish called fishtopher! All the delightful monsters. Loved it.

i freaking love this book❤️❤️❤️

[Libby Low]

the most fun book you'll ever read. Truly joyous on every page, I adored Froggy and Fishtopher and all of their adventures. I cannot wait to read more!

[Nex]

My favorite online comic turned into a book? Yes please!
Exactly as wholesome as the online format and with all the usual pals. It was adorable, sassy, and full of beautiful artwork that I could spenf hours just staring at.

[LaurenAlexandra]

Adorable story, great art! Loved it!

[Meggie Ramm]

Froggy leaves home for the first time and goes on a bunch of adventures!

If you (or your kid) likes Batcat, they'll like this book. There is an omnipotent narrator and a cute but sassy main character who meets a bunch of delightful pond dwellers and goes on many adventures. It's several short stories loosely tied together, which occasionally leads to abrupt endings, but still delightful. And it has dyed edges!

tan cuqui que me quiero morir

[Matt Glaviano]

Not a lot to say about this one. Cute illustrations, average story.

5/5

I am currently reading the web comic, so of course, I had to get this, and I was able to get it for Christmas! The art is amazing, with so many details of other little bugs and critters (not to mention just beautiful overall). The writing is interesting, engaging, and humorous, including the various characters and their roles. Froggy's interactions with everyone are so funny and sweet. 😊

It is such a nice, soft change of pace from the things I have had to read for university (or just current events), and I really appreciate such a narrative and art. I will definitely be reading this again and again, and I highly recommend this to others! A wonderful story from a wonderful web comic by a wonderful creator!

It's about the adventure of one frog wanting to leave home and the encounters he has from fish to humans to cryptid creatures (which is when it veered a little odd for me), but it seems like graphic novels for kids are definitely weird (think Cabin Head and Tree Head).

Froggy's got a few goals that come to fruition in some way or another by having the courage to leave home and take on life which includes helping two bees proclaim there love for one another or taking a bite out of a corn dog.

It's brightly illustrated and a fun romp, if not a little odd.

[Roben]

Froggy has always wanted to explore life beyond his own pond. One day he sets out on his grand adventure and... is almost eaten by a bird! He loses his lily pad but gains a new friend - Fishtopher. And a new pond to call home with amazing new friends like a bee, a mouse, a blue monster, a bat creature, and a wizard! Also many pesky humans that cause problems because they interfere with nature.

The story is mostly told from Froggy's POV but there is a narrator that interacts with Froggy by adding pithy context to the situations. Cute, fun, and totally unexpected in some places. It keeps you on your toes!

[Rebecca]

Froggy has hilarious and sometimes touching or annoying adventures around his pond. This looks like a book for kids, and it would be fine for kids, but there's a lot of humor and found family and character quirks that really appeal to any age. I've been reading this on Webtoons, and if I see there's a new episode of Froggy up, I save it for the last of the Webtoons I read that day so I end my reading on a cheerful, comforting note.

[Elizabeth]

This was a super fun chapter graphic novel. I would say this is a bridge between early chapter/harder chapter books since it often feels like they jump from early to middle grade. The concepts are what makes it on the more challenging side. The narrator is snarky in a fun and appropriate way and froggy is just so full of naive spunk and has a decent amount of character growth for such a short book.

[Abbie Rose]

Reviewing for work:
Very adorable, some good themes such as; finding independence away from parents, creating your own family full of unexpected well meaning characters, importance of community, having your friends backs etc. All dealt with in a very easy, digestible way without any fear holding Froggy back. Loved the humour, where the narrator banters back and forth with Froggy. Absolutely well done!

[Peacegal]

This high-energy, wonderfully colorful graphic novel will delight young comics fans. Froggy's adventures are full of action and humor but are always age-appropriate.

There are a variety of good messages throughout, including a humane education message about leaving wild creatures in the wild when Froggy must find bravery within when his friend is captured and removed from the pond.

[Bri]

Paige Walshe has the most charming way of telling a story. Her illustrations are so adorable and calming. Her narration and dialog are hilarious and delightful. I loved every moment of this story about Froggy and his pond friends. I hope for more tales of them in the future!

[Philippa]

My one and a half year old has been yelling Froggy for the past few days to request reading this book. Needless to say we both loved the book.

I will definitely be getting a few of the older children in my life a copy. 🐸

[Lea]

FROGGYYYYYYYY!!!!!

[Bethany the Librarian]

This was a delightful read! Froggy is so wholesome and kids will enjoy his hilarious adventures. This graphic novel has chapters which makes it great for the age range 6-8.

[Holly]

me and my Ricky rain frog read this together, he can't wait for his next adventure!
