Wonderful Pictures and a Wonderful Story. Froggy and his family is getting ready to go on vacation to Hawaii. When mom wakes Froggie up he is having difficulty settling down. He is told to pack and reminded to pack his swimsuit. He packs his toy plane, boat and his ukelele into his bag and runs outside in his pajamas. Once dressed they head off to the airport where we see he is still hyper. He has difficulty waiting in line, waiting to get there and thinking what he is doing before he does it. F...more
Review: I really enjoyed this book because it was fun and event-filled. Especially since the main character is a frog and he does things that a human is capable of doing (such as surfing). First graders would love this book due to the fact that it's designed to open up your mind to other roles that animals can play other than just being animals.
Summary: Froggy is a very enthusiastic character in this book. He travels to a new place where he meets new friends, experiences new life events, and has...more

What a fun book this was. Froggy is like a typical child on vacation, full of excitement with the desire to explore. Even though froggy's father told him to be more relaxed, froggy could not sit still, he just had to explore everything. The text was so fun to read because of the ''sound effects'' that you can make while reading. The pictures was bright and very colorfull, and my attention was drawn to the beautiful pictures.
PB 10: I had read one of these books when I was younger and LOVED them. Froggy was always so loud and obnoxious. Also, Froggy is quite the klutz. He always almost gets lost or hurt and he has such a forgetful mind. Much like children seem to all have some sort of ADD, Froggy does too but that’s because he’s young and curious. I feel as if I was able to relate to Froggy a lot and I know other children can too!
It seems a bit inconsistent when finally we find out he's forgotten his bathing suit almost at the end of the book, but he's been in the water in many scenes before. I'd have introduced that faux pax earlier in the story since that seems to be an important set up at the beginning.
This story is about a frog that goes on vacation. He jumps around and hops over his daddy and mommy at the airport. He does a lot of silly things in Hawaii. My favorite part was when he hopped over his mommy and daddy at the airport.

I've loved some of the other Froggy books, which I'll review next time I read them. This one includes the Froggy gags I know and love but lacks a unity or harmony that make many of the others special. The kids didn't seem to mind though.
Froggy...annoys me greatly. My favorite part was when he got hit on the head with a coconut. Although, I did like the turtles, because all this past summer I've been rather fond of turtles. =)
A good addition to the Froggy series. This book includes a lot of the same language as the other books. It lends itself to studying dialogue, onomatopoeia, and developing topics for personal writing.
Froggy is a family favorite! Love the repetitive pieces between books, "Froggy was more red in the face than green," etc. "Flop, flop, flop." Always fun to read. Loved this one.
Our first introduction to the Froggy series. My family loves to read this and talk about someday going to Hawaii with the kiddo. It is very cute and silly!
We have read several of the Froggy books by Jonathan London and Frank Remkiewicz, but until I looked on Goodreads, I had no idea just how many of them there are. We enjoy these stories and the familiar refrain of "Frrooggy!" followed by "Wha-a-a-a-t?" is always fun to read aloud together. We loved that this story has a Hawaiian theme and the typical tropical background scenes made us smile. Another fun book.
Eh. I really like children's books that have a point...this one really didn't. Froggy goes to Hawaii and goes balistic. Okkkkkay.

It is vacation time and time for Froggy to not act like a "nincompoop." Somehow he forgets his bathing suit.
story is lacking--but it would be a fun addition for when we "road trip" through the United States.

My daughters review of Froggy Goes to Hawaii: "This book is about a jumpy little green frog who is going on vacation with his family to Hawaii. Froggy was sort of the odd frog in the pond, I would say."
