5.0 out of 5 stars And what a fantastic pairing: the hilarious conversation between the bossy know-it-all ...
This lively book pairs up the multi award-winning Kes Gray (author of Eat Your Peas and the Daisy books) and the equally prolific award-holding Jim Field (illustrator of The Parent Agency and The Lion Inside). And what a fantastic pairing: the hilarious conversation between the bossy know-it-all cat and the mildly peeved frog perfectly match the bright and comic illustrations.It all begins when Cat dramatically shouts, “Oi Frog! Sit on a log!”, but Frog doesn’t really want to sit on a log, so he questions the convention. Cat purrs forth her wisdom (incidentally you can attribute your own genders to the characters, or ignore!) by telling Frog what objects different animals should sit on. Cat’s list goes on and on, with Frog querying how comfortable some of these suggestions are. It all ends with a hilarious twist, which I for one did not see coming!I first came across this book at my local library. I read it to my three year old, and she immediately demanded that I re-read it to her. On the 5th re-read I had to call my husband for reinforcement (in need of refreshment!), and he read it another couple of times to her. That has never happened before, so I think that’s the biggest accolade we can give this book! Of course, we now have our own copy, and I really genuinely do think this is a future classic that will stand the test of time.As a parent and teacher, I found it very entertaining myself, and am pretty sure Year 1 teachers would love this book as a fun antidote to phonics drills!Happy reading!Pippa
5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful book
Wonderful book, very funny, my grandson loves it.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great illustrations. Perfect for young children
Great little book my grandson loved it!
5.0 out of 5 stars a fun read
My 4-year-old son absolutely loves the Oi books, and to be honest, I really enjoy reading them too. Oi Frog! is one of those books that stands out a bit—fun, simple, but clever enough to keep both of us engaged. The rhyming is playful and helps introduce new words in a way that doesn’t feel forced or overly “educational.”It’s also just something a bit different from the usual bedtime stories. The animal pairings are silly in a good way, and the rhythm makes it easy for kids to join in or predict what’s coming next. The illustrations are bright and well done, with enough going on to keep little eyes interested without being too busy.It’s a quick read, but it doesn’t feel rushed. Works well when you’re winding down at the end of the day but still want a bit of fun before lights out. If your kid likes books with a bit of humour and rhythm, this one’s definitely worth having on the shelf
5.0 out of 5 stars Fun book, good quality
We love the Oi! books, so we got this as a gift for friends. Fun story and illustrations, nice quality board book. I’d consider buying it as a gift again.
5.0 out of 5 stars Highly recommended this series of books
Part of a series that I've bought for our 18 month old grandson. He loves the colourful illustrations & saying all the animals he recognises on each page. As he gets older he will appreciate the rhythmic story & get more out of each book.
4.0 out of 5 stars A hit with our 5-year-old
Our 5-year-old son finds this series hilarious. He was particularly keen to get Oi Frog. It's fun to read it to him so he can focus on the entertaining illustrations, but the vocabulary is easy enough for him to read it to us too.The book has some educational value in helping cement the idea of rhyme, but it's mainly about the zany humour. You can't argue when it makes your kids want to read!
5.0 out of 5 stars Still my favourite (and those around me) from the 'Oi!' series, to date
From the back cover of the paperback version ~ 2015/Hodder & Stoughton (image below refers):🐱 ‘Cats sit on mats, hares sit on chairs, mules sit on stools and gophers sit on sofas, but Frog does not want to sit on a log! 🐸From the award-winning KES GRAY and the winner of the Roald Dahl Funny Prize, JIM FIELD.A hilarious rhyming tale about a frog who discovers that all animals have their special places to sit!’ooOooMeasuring around 24.5 cm square, the shiny finish card cover is hard to miss in a sunny yellow background, with frog apparently in his designated place...on a log...where else?Well, this is not just any old frog...this is one who begs to question as it turns out, with a twist at the end that is largely unexpected, for most!The book begins with the opportunity to claim ownership on the inside cover page.Across the colourful, matte finish, double page spreads we meet a variety of animals, all with short rhymes that stick in the mind.We start with Cat, the ‘place’ designator…Naturally in a book of this kind, the smart illustrations have more in them than first meets the eye, offering scope for further discussion, e.g. facial expressions or the headlines on the rather dapper looking hare's newspaper (image below refers).The accompanying text, which includes lots of speech and a repeat element, is clear throughout; often ENHANCED at times FOR EFFECT!
Great book! Kids love it
Great book! My kids love it
Ottimo per la didattica!
Uno dei libri che trovo perfetto per arricchire il vocabolario dei bambini, dato che contiene moooltissimi nomi di animali e di oggetti. Infatti, racconta di una rana che non vuole sedersi su un tronco come le ha ordinato il gatto ma su qualcos'altro, magari di più comodo. Ma il gatto le dice che NON può perché: "frogs sit on logs", "cats sit on mats", "hares sit on chairs" e tantissime associazioni ancora, tutte in rima. Infine, dopo una panoramica dei diversi animali e dei loro diversi appoggi, si arriva anche ai cani ... e cosa far rima con "Dogs"? HELP!Oltre ad essere didattico è anche divertente - già solo a guardare le vivaci illustrazioni!!!
Cute book of rhymes
Awesome book but somewhat redundant, I had purchased Oi Cat, on holiday in UK and my kids loved it ... but it’s more of same simple rhymes ... great for my kids...
Çok Eğlenceli
Oi Frog son derece eğlenceli bir kitap, fakat Türkçe okunduğunda mantığını biraz yitiriyor. 2 yaşındaki oğlum için ne kadar şey ifade ettiğinden emin değilim; ama ben okurken çok zevk alıyorum :))
Divertidísimo
Me ha gustado muchísimo. Súper original, a mis alumnos les ha parecido súper divertido.
