About the author
Howard Calvert
5 books3 followersAs a child, Howard was a big Richard Scarry fan, and still considers Lowly Worm a close confidante, even if he is an anthropomorphic worm. He now writes his own children’s books, mainly while on the train to work, and in 2015 was runner-up in the Greenhouse Funny Prize.
He lives in Hampshire with his wife and two daughters, and enjoys getting covered in mud in the countryside while trail running or mountain biking, eating his own bodyweight in cinnamon buns, riding his Brompton and destroying his kitchen while baking.
When not writing children’s books, Howard writes about adventure and travel, health and fitness and food and drink for newspapers, magazines and websites such as The Telegraph, Red Bull, Get Sweat Go, Trail Running Magazine and The Week Junior. He was formerly on ShortList, where he beat an electric bike to Brighton while on a road bike, and made a pilgrimage in one of three Minis to where the Italian Job was filmed.

This picture book tells the story of a boy who brings a box of frogs to school and they are let loose. It was ok. It will make three year olds laugh. Some of the rhyme was off and disrupted the rhythm of the story. (eg "off" does not rhyme with "shocked", and sometimes the number of syllables in the lines didn't match the pattern).

Frogs. Chaos. Great length.
Kid (3) loved the illustrations. Grown-up enjoyed the rhymes and frogs drinking tea. Five stars.

The rhymes were weak, story fairly dull. I really struggled through this book.
