Reviews in Brief
From School Library Journal:
“Hurd’s bad frogs — 170 of them — revel in mischievous conduct and generate chaos wherever they go…The artwork gleams with Hurd’s shiny bright colors, and his swinging text, presented in bold purple, trumpets the frogs’ badness as they romp through the action-packed illustrations…Youngsters are sure to chuckle each time they turn a page.” — Barbara Elleman, Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art, Amherst, MA
“Hurd's artwork is as exuberant as ever — his portraits of mischief-making amphibians have a ripped-from-the-easel sense of fun, with colors that look like they dried only minutes before readers opened the book.” — Publisher’s Weekly
