Froggy Goes to the Doctor

The first time we read this book, my four-year-old twin boys were rolling on the floor laughing hysterically! They loved it when Froggy's mom made him the underwear that looked like a diaper. Equally funny was when Froggy fell off the bench, grossed out the doctor with his bad breath, and accidentally knocked her down when she checked his reflexes. My twins ask for this highly entertaining book over and over again. We're really happy we discovered this series.

My daughter found the Froggy books at the library at first. We both fell in love with the books and I ordered them for her for Christmas. Like many children, Froggy is nervous about going to the doctor. The events that occur at the doctor's office are laugh-out-loud hilarious! I recommend any and all of the Froggy books to parents with young children.

We have read a lot of Froggy books, but this is by far my son's favorite. He laughs out loud every time we read it. He first heard it at school, so we normally borrow them from the library, but this one we had to add to our "library". It's very funny and great for kid's who are nervous about doctor visits.

I am much like another reviewer here (Nelson). I do not really care all that much for the froggy books myself, this one included. BUT...the kids all love them! I have yet to find one young child that did not what this and the other Froggy Book read to them over and over and over again. This, as the other reviewer pointed out, is what counts. I must say though that I found this particular book rather good in helping children understand the process of going to the doctor. Most of them do fear it, just like Froggy, and this work points out the fact that most of these fears are rather unnecessary. I like that. Recommend this one.

I feel a little sheepish giving this 5 stars. Frankly, I don't much care for the Froggy series. Here's the truth, though - it doesn't matter what I think. My 5-year-old loves all the Froggy books, and they serve as great motivators for him to continue learning to read. I'd recommend this book over most of the other Froggy books. Froggy's misbehavior is (thankfully) not a major topic here, and the book conveys a useful lesson about doctors. Recommended.
