  | Full Text Reviews: School Library Journal - 05/01/1994 PreS-Gr 2-A fun-for-all, tongue-tangling, giggle-getting, ``flap,'' ``bonk,'' ``slam'' of a rousing read-aloud. Froggy and his father prepare for a bike outing and picnic. Froggy says, `I don't know where it is!' about each item, and his father replies, `It's wherever you left it!' After much searching, complete with sound effects, the pair are too hungry to proceed, so they have their picnic on the patio, and then set off on their bicycles. Spirited, bright watercolor illustrations drip with froggy greenness and the background is awash with wonderfully intense, saturated tones and accent colors that have a neon brightness. Cartoon frogs in flipper-shaped sneakers pedal off into the sunset with their helmets securely in place. Rich with opportunities for audience participation, Let's Go, Froggy! should be a story-time favorite with innumerable theme possibilities.-Jody McCoy, Casady School, Oklahoma City - Copyright 1994 Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and/or School Library Journal used with permission.
