Preschool-Kindergarten. The quizzical frog on the cover, seen in more than 50 outlandish poses on the endpapers, signals fun ahead. On the first page, a bossy cat demands that our hero sit on a log because he is a frog. Unhappy about the discomfort, the frog offers lots of alternatives, only to be rebuffed because each choice is governed by its rhyming companion; cats sit on mats, and it’s a chair for the hare. But it’s not just the frog that’s disgruntled. Fourteen gophers on sofas seem particularly uncomfortable, until we see 20 foxes trying to squeeze into boxes (while below fleas are lining up to sit on peas). The eyes of each animal reflect its emotions, including confusion (seal), annoyance (gorilla), and obliviousness (mole). And their awkward poses are hilarious, particularly mule perched precariously on a stool. The clever and skillful artwork is highlighted by the pure, bright background colors, making this an eye-catcher for groups. Expect lots of laughter—especially at the twisty ending—and some creative additions. Pair with Jeff Mack’s Look! (2015) for more slapstick with captivation illustrations. .
