Grumpy Frog

I always enjoy Ed Vere's work, and this book is especially funny and wonderful. A great readaloud that is sure to make kids laugh (it makes me laugh and I always ask to read it again and again!)

Great condition for a used book

Funny

Love the book! It’s funny and a good read. Ed Vere has good books in general

While this book's text and illustrations are simple, there are many things that can be discussed after reading this story. It starts with a happy frog that loves hopping, winning and the color green. All other colors can easily turn him from happy to grumpy. But pink is his all-time worst color. While his friends are just fine with all colors, his reluctance to accept anything but green leaves him unable to join his friends when they are swimming (blue water), bouncing (yellow trampoline) and enjoying other things together. Frog holds tight to his thinking that all colors except green just don’t work for him and cause him to be grumpy. So he sits alone. Without friends. Convincing himself that he is fine. But will something help him change his mind? Or will he remain strong regarding his thoughts and feelings? And is there even a legitimate reason to feel happy and grumpy?Though it is a very simple story with few words, the depth of discussion can be branched in several layers and directions. And for very young children it can even be used to help identify colors.This book was received by me and reviewed on NetGalley.

This is a fun, appealing read but with a clear moral message that is shared in a way that will help children understand. Grumpy frog loves everything green but hates other colours. He likes winning but hates it when he doesn’t. This is a lesson in tolerance, friendship and getting on shared in a manner that will appeal to children and the witty text appeals to adults, too!This is a brilliant fun read that I recommend teachers and parents check out - I think it is great! The illustrations are very appropriate, appealing and add to the enjoyment of the book.I requested and was given a copy of this book via NetGalley and this is my honest opinion after choosing to read it.

What a cute way to share this important message. Grumpy Frog knows what he likes and is not really willing to change. When he finds himself all alone, he needs to think about the reasons he has no one to play with. This story is about tolerance, not always getting our own way and learning about give and take. You can even stretch it to acceptance of differences in race and culture. Grumpy Frog learns that if he wants to have friends he needs to make some changes and co-operate with others. The illustrations are cartoons done by Ed Vere. Wonderful. A great book for primary and even junior students. A good addition to school and class libraries. The publisher generously provided me with a copy of this book via Netgalley.

This was sold as ‘Used- Very Good’ condition.I would disagree about the condition, given that there are numerous scuff marks, a sticker on the outside, and the previous owner (a library) tickets stuck inside.However- this is a GREAT story. My favourite book to read the kid so far.

Well enjoyed by my 6&4 year old girls. Bought this after, Max the Brave.

It's really good because my son really likes the book and when he is being grumpy I can refer him to this book! And explain that being grumpy (throwing a tantrum) can make other people sad and it doesn't solve the problem

This book looked like new when it arrived. Thanks to the sellers!The writer, Ed Vere is a star. Grumpy Frog is currently one of our favourite books. It is memorably funny. My two boys (3 and 5) love it and we often quote from it when we're out and about.

Funny and a useful book to start conversations about friendships and being kind etc. Preschool children loved it.
