PreSchool-Grade 1?It's now summertime for the hero of Froggy GetsDressed (Viking, 1992). When an overzealous swing ride tosses himinto a pond, his patient mother assures her terrified son that allfrogs are great swimmers, and she teaches him how. He is stillreluctant until he puts on his flippers, mask, and snorkel. Then hewon't get out of the water?all night! Vivid watercolor cartoons addto the humor, showing the comical facial expressions and hilariousbeachwear. Froggy's childlike dialogue and the sound words?"zook!zik!"; "flop flop...splash!"?make this story a wonderfulread-aloud. Pair it with Marc Brown's D.W. All Wet (Little, 1988)to promote discussion about overcoming fears.?Betty Teague, BlytheAcademy of Languages, Greenville, SC
