A frog who loves to burp learns the value of
good manners.
Well
that synopsis does a pretty good job of summing it up! This book follows are a
frog named…Frog. When he was little everyone thought it was so cute when he
burped but as he grew up it was not so cute, just gross! He gets kicked out of
town and quickly learns the value of manners and how much he wants to be with
his friends and family.
We
liked the artwork in this book and of course the boys loved all the burping. This
book does a good job of teaching how important it is to say excuse me and have
polite manners when eating.
My Rating:

breathtaking debut

Venturing out into the dark, they learn there is a whole world still awake and a beauty in their new and unconventional schedule.
Ideal for bedtime reading, this gorgeous and lyrical story celebrates nighttime's mystery and magic.

After
traveling half way around the world and not being able to get their sleep
schedule to normal, the Insomnicas learn to be night owls. The do everything a
normal family does, they just do it at night. The daughter starts to take
online night classes and the mother and father get night jobs. The daughter
even gets some nocturnal pets. We enjoyed the illustrations and I really like
the way the people and animals were drawn. That is what drew me to pick up the
book in the first place. I would like to find more book illustrated by The Brothers Hilts
