The Hungry, Grumpy Frog, written by Jessica Huff, is an adorable story about the importance of friendship. Its cover was brilliantly crafted and immediately captured my attention, and I know it'll catch your child's eye too! The inside design was also outstanding.
Bold, beautiful illustrations filled each page. The book designer (Bryony van der Merwe) emphasized specific text using colorful fonts, enlarged key terms, and italics. This layout choice will draw the reader's eyes and hold their interest. This design will assist young children embarking on their solo reading journey. Words stand out more.
The Hungry, Grumpy Frog tells the story of a green frog whose mind is in a fog. He's hungry, tired, and grumpy. We've all had those moments when it's hard to concentrate due to a rumbling belly. Lunchtime seems years away. As the frog grumbles about his hunger, children will meet a white duck, orange fish, and a black bird who teaches the frog the importance of teamwork and accepting help from others.
The green frog started his day with a flat belly and a frown; however, after meeting three animals, his day ended with a round belly and a humungous smile. What a great way to end a bad day!
