What did you like about the book? The classic song is brought to life with sturdy die-cut pages featuring easy-to-maneuver sliders, tabs, wheels, and bright illustrations. Little ones can begin by rocking the 5 smiling and varied pastel-colored frogs on the cover and then advance the story by helping them jump off the log one at a time. The digital illustrations are filled with detail, expression and touches of humor that will appeal to young readers. Children will be eager to sing the song over and over again “Glug, glug!”
