Froggy's Best Christmas is a picture book written by Jonathan London and illustrated by Frank Remkiewicz.
Froggy has never celebrated Christmas; usually he's taking his long winter's nap. But not this year!
Froggy's best friend, Max the beaver, wakes him up to join the fun.
Soon, Froggy's gotten into the swing of things: finding a tree, wrapping presents, singing carols, and enjoying a holiday feast.
Join Froggy as he celebrates his very first, and very best, Christmas!
Book Review
Every year Froggy sleeps through Christmas, but this year Max decides to wake him up and give him a present!
"Wow!" said Froggy. "This is my first Christmas present!"
"This is your first Christmas!" said Max. "You always sleep through it!"
And since
"Christmas," Max said, "is about friends."
they decide to wake up Matthew the turtle and Travis the bear as well. The four friends pick out the perfect Christmas tree together and bring it home.
"Christmas," said Max when they got there, "is about friends... and family, too."
There was no hibernating in the woods that Christmas! The animals jam-packed all of the best Christmas traditions into one Christmas day.
The story ends with Santa Owl which was odd and out of the blue to me, but my kids thought it made perfect sense: THEY ARE ALL ANIMALS IN THIS BOOK. I guess it really is that simple.
Overall it was a cute Christmas read highlighting the fun traditions of the holiday and the joys of being with friends and family.
8/10: Great Read
