Chronicle Books, 2013. Unpaged. Picture Book
Four letters, artfully arranged and rearranged, comprise the text of this laugh-out-loud funny picture book about the adventures of a frog. "AAHH!" he begins, a sigh of contentment which becomes "AH HA!" when he finds a rock in the pond to rest atop, which becomes someone else's "AH HA!" when he is captured in a jar by a boy with a dog. "AAHH!" he cries in terror as he flies out of the jar, and "AH HA!" again as he climbs atop what he thinks is a rock but which turns out to be a turtle who then has an "AH HA!" moment while the frog is back to an anything but contented "AAHH!" And so on . . . . The pictures are bold, bright, and hilarious--perfect for pre-schoolers, and perfect for parents looking for a perfect read-aloud for the little ones.
