Here is Froggy again, and this time, he is getting ready for his annual doctor's checkup. Froggy is excited until he remembers that he might have to get a shot. But, as you read the story, you can tell that the doctor is more the one who should be worried rather than Froggy.

Froggy is a cute story that many children would find very funny. The illustrations, by Frank Remkiewicz, are amusing and help children understand the story a little bit more. The bright picutes also make it attractive for yo...more

This book is really cute! My classmates introduced me to this book in a fine arts class. They presented a puppet show with this book that was really creative. I liked how this book presented going to the doctor from a child's point of view. The fear of shots and other unpleasant experiences at the doctor are explained and given a positive view point. This book should make children want to visit the doctor. ;) I would use this book when discussing ways to stay healthy or reviewing professions. Th...more

This book explains a child's fear of going to the doctor in a hilarious, easy to understand way. Froggy provides for some great entertainment at the doctor's office, too, as he forgot to wear underwear to the doctor and his mom had to make some out of paper for him. My boys LOVED that part! Cute and funny read.
Beth
Froggy is not happy to have to see the Doctor. She is also the wife to his principal, Dr. Mugwort. He sees Frogilina at the doctor office. Froggy is happy that he is healthy.

I gave this book to the nurse to read to pre-school students, but the nurse really didn't like this story at all.

Part of the ReadtheShelf Challenge.

Funny because 1)I dislike going to the doctor. Immensely.
2)(SLIGHT SPOILER)




Froggy forgets to put on underwear. The kids will go nuts for that.




A bit on the exaggerated side. But that's Froggy.

Today a student handed in this book stating that this book should be very popular... i asked why she said that it was very funny and she liked it... so i read the book quickly and found it endearing and cute. the kid sure had a good review for it.

My kids recently discovered these books and love them. They are rather fun, and even our little two-year old will repeat words that get repeated throughout the book. It's pretty cute. Definitely a kid favorite.
Julene
My favorite froggy book so far. Even Lance laughed when he read this one to Eden and he normally thinks Froggy is a bad example (too disobedient) and a bit annoying.
Monica Tenbrook
I recommend all of the Froggy books because they're fun to read! They are full of action words and Froggy is always doing something to get you laughing.

Funny book for 3 to 3rd grade. Unexpected underwear scene in the book. Good book for sound words and teaching how to read with expression.
Sarah
Very funny parts make this a great read aloud. You can really ham it up. Froggy is nervous about going to the dr.

Froggy has to go to the doctor.
Jenilyn Braden
I saw this book used in my observation of a preschool class, and it was really cool the way they incorporated it. They had an actual pediatrician come in and she read them this book, which is all about going to the doctor, and then she showed them all of her "doctor tools" and let the kids use them. It was a really neat lesson. This book is also a really good one to read to younger kids to let them know that the doctor isn't scary. Children need to hear that from a young age, because it seems re...more
