review of
Joy Toujours & Babs DeSully & Sean Martin's A Frog's Tale
by tENTATIVELY, a cONVENIENCE - March 21, 2023
My friend Joy gave me this bk. It's written for little kids. He & his coauthor Babs parented a child that they had in mind for it. It's strange for me to review a bk like this b/c while the idea of the bk originates w/ the txt, what makes it most engaging is the art & the art doesn't have to be the sort of art I'm interested in - to the contrary, the art is illustrative, it's not stand-alone or conceptual, so I don't have my ordinary basis for critiqueing it. If I were a little kid again wd I like this bk? Probably. The story: a little kid meets a talking frog. The frog explains that frogs were once dragons. The frog further explains that the dragons became endangered b/c humans hunted them ruthlessly so the dragons shrunk to frogs so that they'd be too small for humans to notice so they'd be able to get on w/ their lives & survive. The child is sceptical. The frog demonstrates the truth of its statement by turning into a dragon in front of the child. The illustrations are 'professional'. Maybe Joy hired the artist. At any rate, they did a good job, it's obviously 'their thing', I mean they have a certain 'look' that everyone will get immediately. The bk is both fantasy & something w/ a moral to it about adults & our propensity for destruction of the marvelous & children & their relative appreciation & gentleness vis à vis the marvelous.

Love this children’s book
The story is not only unique but somewhat magical. The illustrations are well done and bring life to the frog’s tale.
