"Lots of Frogs!" by Howard Calvert and Claudia Boldt (Hodder Children's Books)

Ahhh this one took me right back to childhood, and an obsession with all things lizardy, slimy and froggy. I used to go trawling for frogspawn in a local pond, taking it back to our pond at home and watching as the spawn turned into tadpoles, then into frogs themselves.

"Lots of Frogs" introduces a fab little character who is similarly obsessed with frogs.

Tommy Fox has a box - a box full of frogs. And when they all jump out at school, that's when the fun begins!

There is chaos in the classroom and high jinks in the hall. Can Tommy get the frogs back in the box?

Debut author Howard Calvert deftly captures that child-like innocence of his main character, and of course Claudia Boldt is brilliant at illustrating the absolute chaos as those frogs hop around all over the place, all shapes and sizes but always hilarious with such expressive little faces. 

We liked this one a lot, but you will have to wait until 7th February to enjoy this froggy outing yourself. 

"Lots of Frogs" by Howard Calvert and Claudia Boldt is published by Hodder Children's Books (kindly supplied for review).
