A small frog sits on a half-sunken log in the middle of the bog in Karma Wilson's A Frog in the Bog. Each time he eats an animal,he grows bigger. The frog soon learns it isn't a log he's sitting on at all. Joan Rankin's bright watercolors add to the fun of the comparably expanding rhyming verse. A great new counting book with some funny twists.

There's a frog on the log

in the middle of the bog.

A small, green frog

on a half-sunk log

in the middle of the bog....

"The tautly told tale, dramatic surprise, and appropriate comeuppance for the protagonist will delight young listeners."

-- Horn Book Guide

"Wilson's bouncy, humorous verses mesh well with Rankin's cartoonlike, watercolor illustrations, which fairly teem with visual asides."

-- Booklist

"This imaginative counting book will keep children laughing...."

-- School Library Journal

"Wilson's blend of early learning concepts, humor, and wordplay make for a jaunty read-aloud."
