Froggy Plays in the Band

When Froggy hears about an upcoming marching band contest, he wastes no time in digging out his dad's old saxophone from the attic. Soon, along with his recorder-tooting, triangle-tinging, baton-flinging pals, Froggy has himself a bona fide marching band. As long as they can remember the rules--"Don't look left. Don't look right. And DON'T STOP FOR ANYTHING!"--they might even win the big prize. Of course, it's hard to take everything into account... Created by clever author-illustrator team Jonathan London and Frank Remkiewicz, Froggy has starred in many endearing picture books, including Froggy Eats Out, Froggy Gets Dressed, and Froggy Goes to School. With his earnest expressions and high personal standards, this amiable amphibian plays the perfect straight man to his own droll antics. Young readers will adore watching Froggy get into--and out of--yet another pickle. Rock on, Froggy! (Ages 3 to 6) --Emilie Coulter
