Sadie #3
Follow That Frog!
When a curiously croaking stranger comes knocking at the door, Aunt Josephine launches into a rambling tale about her lifelong pursuit of a rare giant frog.
Eccentric Aunt Josephine poignantly ignores a stranger knocking at her door as she tells her niece Sadie the story of her time in the jungles of Peru, cataloguing amphibians for the scientific team of Admiral Rodriguez. When the admiral's son was suddenly swallowed by a giant frog, Aunt Josephine gave chase in a journey which took her around the world.
In the tradition of Philip Stead and Caldecott Medalist Matthew Cordell's previous collaborations Special Delivery and The Only Fish in the Sea, this is a story full of rambunctious fun and sensationally appealing artwork.

This book is SO quirky, and the copyright page accidentally says 2121 which adds to the love I have for it!

There is a knock on the door, and Sadie goes to wake Aunt Josephine, who relates the long and completely odd tale about the greatest regret in her life, her inability to catch an enormous frog while researching in Peru.
Complete nonsense, and sometimes that's exactly the sort of story you want to read. Like, for me, today.

What an outlandish read! Love the illustrations too!
November 4, 2021
Humorous, outlandish story--actually a story within the story--and a surprise ending.
A mix of hand lettering and typed font -- loud and energetic mixed with the straight-laced font for telling the tale. The endpapers are a bright green and slightly jarring -- maybe they should be the mottled colors of the frog. The jacket artwork shows Aunt Josephine and the speech bubbles on the back with a giant speech bubble on the front showing the frog and Josephine in pursuit, a good indicator of what's inside. Under the jacket is Josephine's field guide with taped photos, drawings and objects. The book starts before the title page, just after the bright green endpapers to shares a sense of foreboding as a small girl has her back to the reader in front of a large door, a dog growls, a chicken looks startled, and large lettering proclaims "knock! knock!" The girl looks unperturbed as she walks past a wall of photographs (are there seals blowing bubblegum? why is that monkey wearing clothes?), shouting for Aunt Josephine who we discover in bed after her niece has pulled the curtains open to reveal the book title.
Aunt Josephine and niece appear on white backgrounds while Josephine's tale is told in large speech bubbles. At first we see Aunt Josephine along with the speech bubbles as she talks. This gives way to her being unseen and her tall tale taking up the two-page spreads, still with curved lines of the speech bubbles surrounding the images to show this is the story she's telling. The text typically appears outside those lines, still on white background which is good because there is a lot going on in those images. Detailed but slightly unstructured, sometimes frenetic, the feeling of the art adds to the story that becomes more and more outrageous as Aunt Josephine 9-year-old Josephine rides a motorcycle, goes to sea in a giant bathtub, is left on a deserted isle by pirates, rides a whale, and sees most of the world (just not Paris). Who would believe this tall tale with goofy looking chickens, an ostrich, a giant frog of course and more?
This book is a good reminder that picture books are a format and not age specific. Hand to readers in grade 1 and up who like a good yarn and will have fun exploring the detailed illustrations.

Full review & author/illustrator review: http://www.unleashingreaders.com/?p=2...
Philip C. Stead and Matthew Cordell sure have a vivid imagination and silly sense of humor, and this book definitely show that it is true–once again Aunt Josephine takes the reader on a wild adventure! This book strays away a bit from the structure of the first two books in the series because instead of Sadie going on an adventure, Aunt Josephine shares an adventure SHE had from her younger days.
I loved this story because it gave us a bit more insight into Aunt Josephine as we got glimpses not only into her past but also into her home, and it all gives us a bit of an understanding of some of Sadie’s characteristics! I think the easiest way to describe it all is quirky, equally balanced between Stead’s sensational story telling and Cordell’s intricate illustrations.

The great combination of Stead and Cordell return with another energetic and funny picture book collaboration. In a house full of chickens, there is a knock on the door. Sadie rushes to wake up Aunt Josephine. But Aunt Josephine is much more interested in sharing a tale of her time in Peru cataloging amphibians for Admiral Rodriguez who recently experienced a tragic banana accident. His son was flirting with Josephine when suddenly he was swallowed by a giant frog. Josephine gave chase, trying to catalog the fast-moving frog and rather disinterested in the fate of the Admiral’s son. The frog fled around the world, through deserts aboard an ostrich, into the waters of the Panama Canal, onto the back of a whale, all to lose sight of the frog forever. But who could be at the door?
Stead’s text is marvelous, moving from the rather wordy but fascinating Aunt Josephine into her story which is fast paced and frenetic. The journey around the world is great fun, dashing along behind the huge frog. There is so much to enjoy here, including Josephine’s ignoring of the Admiral’s son in all of this, her interest in nature and the world, and the story-within-a-story structure. The ending is also a delight sure to satisfy readers.
Cordell’s illustrations fit perfectly with Stead’s writing. His merry illustrations add to the wild storyline with their large fonts. His truly huge frog is interesting as are the chickens peppered around the place. Throughout there is a sense of giggles rising to the surface.
A grand escapade of a picture book. Appropriate for ages 4-6.

Imaginative, over the top, and quirky are the words that pop in my head reading FOLLOW THAT FROG. It is in premise simple, there is a knock at the door, but rather than answer it the elderly aunt tells her life story explain why she doesn't want to bother opening it. Her story is were the over-the-top quirkiness is revealed. This aunt has lived quite the globe trotting life in pursuit of a giant frog. Full of animals, absurd adventures and excitement, this is a rollicking adventure full of humor and suspense.

The cover art caught my eye at the library, so I grabbed this one to read at home. It was such a fun book to read. Maybe because it reminds me a bit of Ms. Glee was Waiting, a quirky book I loved so much as a childthat the library gave it to us when they discarded it in the 80s.
Now that I’m logging the book in GR, I notice it’s book #3. Hmm! I will look for the first two soon.

This book is genius. Ridiculous humor, cliff hangers on every page, suspense, adventure, romance, chickens and pigs in the house: this book has everything.

This wasn't my favorite. Too many pictures/page, and too much chaos for me :).

Detailed pen and ink and watercolor illustrations complement a rambling and hilarious story of one woman's pursuit of a wily frog. The story actually begins before the title page as a loud knock on the front door of Aunt Josephine's house frightens all the animals inside and makes Sadie, her niece, nervous. The now-aged and tired Aunt Josephine ponders the identity of this caller, and decides that hers has been a full and satisfying life, and she has no need of vacuum cleaner salesmen or suitors, which presumably the knocker must be. She then proceeds to relate the story of her time in Peru cataloguing amphibians when a would-be suitor was eaten by a huge frog. Determined to complete her task, she sets off in hot pursuit of the creature who leads her on a merry chase through deserts, canals, the ocean with her and the frog traveling by unusual forms of transportation, including, in her case, a whale. But despite her efforts, she never finds him; nor does she ever see Paris, one of her life regrets. The tale is deliciously told, reeled out in true storytelling fashion, and the illustrations feature the most outlandish of scenes as Aunt Josephine lovingly embellishes each step of her journey. The last page contains a surprise for the elderly woman as perhaps her suitor has turned out to be just as persistent and untiring as she was. This will be a great read aloud, and listeners will laugh throughout the entire narrative due to the sly asides and detailed images as well as the sheer absurdity of it all.

Follow That Frog! Takes us through Aunt J's retelling of her adventures while working in the Jungles of Peru. She was tasked with documenting every amphibian in the jungle when she spotted a giant one! She chased this frog all over, including the ocean, where she rode a whale, the desert, the Canary Islands, and so many more places. All while she is telling this story, there is a knocking at her front door, but she is refusing to open up. At the end, we see the frog has come back to visit her. This book was a super fun and fast-paced read with cute pictures and side dialogue.
The illustrations were loaded with little details that can be easily missed if you were not looking hard enough. The people and backgrounds are simple, yet you can really see the story through the pictures on the pages. This is a quality book; it has some funny parts and a good plot that moves along at a steady pace. This book would be appropriate for grades 2nd - 4th. There are some higher-level vocabulary words throughout that students may need help decoding.
I would use this text in my future classroom before we start a lesson on maps or map skills because it features places like the Great Pyramids, the ocean, the Colosseum, and the Taj Mahal. Aunt Josephine also talks about going to Paris and other well-known geographical landmarks. We could read this story and then use an actual map to determine how far Aunt Josephine actually chased that frog.

For forty-seven years and counting, it has been a privilege to work within and enjoy a world centered in children's literature. Book by book my already considerable respect for authors and illustrators has grown every year. With each new title I hold in my hands and read, it still grows.
One of the greatest joys of being a teacher librarian, other than sharing books with all readers, is the honor of watching an author, illustrator, or author illustrator begin and master their art. Underlying every word they write and every element in the images they make is a passion for bringing their absolute best to children, readers, of all ages. In 2021 one of these creators has released two books within a week of each other.
Oh, there is nothing like holding a book in your hands with the return of a fiery, determined protagonist within its pages. We first met her in a montage of modes of transportation as she, with the most heartfelt of reasons, desired to make a gift of an elephant to her Great-Aunt Josephine. This is Special Delivery. In The Only Fish In The Sea, she sets off on a stormy sea accompanied by a friend and a unruly crew to rescue a tiny pet, a gift, tossed away. Sadie is back!
This time, Sadie's Aunt Josephine takes center stage, regaling readers and Sadie with a particularly crazy feat from her youth. Follow That Frog! (Neal Porter Books, Holiday House, February 2, 2021) written by Philip C. Stead with illustrations by Matthew Cordell is an adventure loaded with non-stop action and laugh-out-loud hilarity. You'll begin to understand why Sadie exhibits certain characteristics as she faces life's challenges.

When Aunt Josephine won't answer the knocking on the door, she tells Sadie why she'd rather rest in bed. It seems that, as a young woman, Aunt J. was cataloging amphibians for a scientist and his team, when, suddenly, the Admiral's son was swallowed by an enormous frog, sending her on a chase around the world - she needs to catalog that frog!
Two picture book greats (Stead and Cordell) have combined talent to produce a terrific story. Matthew Cordell's whimsical illustrations are sensational! And Stead's story . . . Josephine collects everything except the frog and is put into one dangerous (hilarious) situation after another. No wonder she's too tired to get up and see who is at the door! We loved the representation of Canary Island, the pirates and the floating bathtub. I've promised AJ I'll read it to her again, soon.

October 30, 2020This book starts with a knock on the door and continues with an adventure, albeit not one due to answering the door. One of the two main characters is Sadie from the Stead/Cordell book Special Delivery. She wants to answer the door whereas her Aunt Jo explains why they should not answer the door. Aunt Jo's reasoning involves a convoluted adventure chasing after a frog. The book has Cordell's usual intricate pen and ink drawing style and Stead's awesome storytelling. It is a solid picture book that ends on a humorous note.

Sadie is back! This adventure starts with a Knock Knock on the door. But Sadie's Aunt Josephine advises her not to answer. Rather than inquiring, "Who's there?", she proceeds to tell Sadie of her adventures chasing a frog who had just swallowed the admiral's ridiculous son! (She didn't really care about the son but she did want to classify that frog!) The chase progresses around the world and involves rheas and whales. But who could that be knocking on the door? Hopefully there are more Sadie adventures on the horizon!

“I have run life’s race and have earned my rest.”
As Sadie visits her Aunt Josephine, the woman regales her with the tales of her life: from working in the jungles of Peru cataloging amphibians to her worldly trek to catch the giant frog that ate the admiral’s son. “For though I didn’t care much for the admiral’s son, I do abhor a job unfinished. And it was my job to catalog that frog!” Highjacked by pirates, stranded on an island, riding a whale to freedom and then finally returning home with one regret: she never found that frog.
But maybe it found her?
A fun picture book with a sense of the ridiculous.

Tihs is just the perfect kind of silly, nonsensical, Roald Dahl-esque picture book that I love. The illustrations by Matthew Cordell are reminiscent of Quentin Blake (Dahl's quintessential illustrator) and are full of fun detail that fill out the story. I love the ridiculous adventure Stead has laid out here (and, interestingly enough, the whole thing goes well with the adult book I'm reading Miss Benson's Beetle). Share with kids who love Fortunately, The Milk, Roald Dahl, and Jon Scieszka.

File this under a type of picture book I love...ridiculous, quirky, great language, adventurous, and illustrations that beg to be savored. There is so much going on here to delight slightly older picture book lovers (5+) and adults. This would be a fun read-aloud as well as a great way to teach kids about the art of telling a tall tale.
Favorite line..."I chose to stay positive, though, remembering the last words of my sainted grandmother: If nothing else, Josephine, see Paris!"
The corresponding illustration of "Saint Myrtle" is just as delightful!

Another clever story about Sadie, first seen in Special Delivery. This time her Aunt Josephine is telling Sadie a long and rambling story about her adventures when she was Sadie's age. The story is over the top unbelievable although there our hints around the house that this isn't just a tall tale. The vocabulary, humor and wordplay will appeal to older readers. And, just when you think the story has gone on long enough, there is a funny and very satisfying ending leaving the reader eager for another Sadie and Aunt Josephine story.

A quirky and imaginative story about Aunt Sadie, who refuses to get out of bed when the door knocks and instead tells a seemingly rambling story to her niece. Filled with wit and cleverness that begs to be read aloud, this is a picture book for older children who have sat through adults’ long stories that seem to go nowhere, yet this story delivers a magnificent punchline. Cordell’s artwork is splendid, as always, and assists in conveying the heart of this story with animated cheer and joy. Highly recommended.

Hilarious and zany and random. Not really one I'd turn to for storytime, but for personal entertainment factor (especially with kids older than preschool age), this was a scream. Philip Stead's sketch-style illustrations are a delight. An old woman recounts her youth, where she was sent on a journey trying to catalog a giant frog who had swallowed a fellow member of her team. Nonsensical and pure fun.

This humorous misadventure is reminiscent of the picture books that came before. My mind kept jumping back to Remy Charlip's FORTUNATELY.
A tall tale, a loquacious narrator, detailed illustrations, and lots of wit make this one perfect for reading aloud in a serious tone and watching kids absorb the visual narrative and tongue-in-cheek adventure.
Recommend for ages 5-8 and picture book collectors of all ages.

I discovered this delightful new book at Anderson Bookstore in Naperville, IL,'s Annual Children's Literature Breakfast and couldn't wait to share it with my second graders! During our read aloud, one of my students called out, “That’s like you, Miss Erickson!” I aspire to be like the strong, independent, eccentric Aunt J in her lifelong, globetrotting pursuit of the mysterious, carnivorous frog only to find my prince knocking at my door!

This pictures book was so fun! The watercolor illustrations brought alive the story that was being told after a knock on the door. The read-aloud potential of this book is enormous. This book could be used in the classroom when discussing story telling and the elements that are important because this book is about a story. This book also uses some advanced vocabulary that would be perfect for expanding students language.

"Follow That Frog" is a fun, quirky book. Aunt Josephine recounts her adventures in exotic places like Peru and the Panama Canal while trying to convince her niece to let her sleep late and ignore the "knock, knock" at the front door. The illustrations add to the book's humor with all the animals that live in the house. A surprise ending completes this delightful story.

February 20, 2021Someone comes knocking at the door, and young Sadie wakes her Aunt Josephine. But Aunt Josephine does not want to be woken up--she has already spent so much of her life on far-off-adventures that today she just wants to sleep past noon.
Feels a bit like a younger version of Fortunately the Milk. This one isn't for me.

Sadie's Great-Aunt Josephine recounts a tale of her youth when a giant frog swallowed up an admiral's son and she had to save him. Great-Aunt Josephine traveled through jungles and deserts and over water, but never managed to find the giant frog.
A little wandering, but overall a good addition to the Sadie series.

Love, love, love this book. Exactly the humor I need. Something about that Grandma just tickles me. Her storytelling is spot on. The words the author chooses for Grandma's stories...glorious! When have I ever encountered the word "bivouacked" in a picture book!?! The illustrations are so rich...I could go on and on. It seems I have!
