Summary: A Cute Book
Comment: I read this to my kindergarden students who loved it. The book is a consciousness raising story for children about how to behave in a restaurant. From an adult perspective the author should have had the parents say at the end, "Froggy, we should have realized that you are not grown up enough for a fancy restaurant," since it was a mistake to take him; the ending would have made better sense. While none of the students said they thought Froggy was being rewarded for his bad behavior with a trip to "Burger and Flies", it looked that way to me.

Summary: Maybe not such a good message to send to your kids.
Comment: A good story with nice illustrations, but the message it sends is not necessarily a good one to teach little kids when it comes to manners and listening to mom and dad.
Froggy goes to a fancy restaurant with his parents on their anniversary, and he is not on his best behavior! He fidgeted, shook the salt shaker, flipped silverware, and ran around the restaurant. When his spaghetti arrived, he began slurping it noisily. That's when he's seen by Frogilina, the pretty girl frog. Froggy is so discombobulated by seeing her that he accidentally pulls the tablecloth and upsets the spaghetti onto himelf, causing further embarrassment. Froggy's parents then basically say "Oh well," and take him to a burger joint instead.
To me, the book sends mixed messages. On the one hand, it seems the author is saying that it's okay to be a kid. But on the other hand, it seems that Froggy gets away with bad behavior, not only without any repercussions, but he even gets a reward!
For a funny story with a good message, I recommend Big Bad Bunny by Alan Durant and Guy Parker-Rees.

Summary: My 2-year old loves this book!
Comment: This story tells the tale of the considerable agony that children go through when eating at a fancy restaurant.
While it is true that Froggy misbehaved, it's not true that he wasn't punished. He unknowingly punished himself by enduring the humiliation of his actions in front of Frogilina.
This is a brightly colored and captivating book, my 2-year old loves it.
