Critics Review
“It’s a wild ride on the sea of imagination, and a rousing high-five to the power of reading.”– “Publishers Weekly, starred review”
“Newbery Award winner Alexander’s humorous, tautly poetic dialogue between friends begs to be read aloud to small listeners or by new readers, and these frogs have cultural punch that many plain-vanilla animal characters lack. The nod to Moby-Dick is a bonus. A warmhearted tribute to reading.”– “Kirkus Reviews, starred review”
A joyful and humor-filled ode to the magic of imagination and reading.– “School Library Journal”
