  | Full Text Reviews: Booklist - 03/01/2000 Froggy is tired out from a long, hard day of play, but he puts off bedtime as long as possible. Every part of the ritual involves a search: for his boat (found in the laundry bin); for his pajamas (found behind his desk); for his toothbrush (found in the cookie jar); and so on. Froggy goes to sleep only after his mother, trying to keep her eyes open during the bedtime story, begins to snore. Preschoolers will enjoy the combination of the familiar situations and good-natured silliness, as they watch this master staller at work. The accessible text, with its sound effects and overall sense of fun, is a pleasure to read aloud. Even nonreaders can enjoy the story through the cartoonlike illustrations, notable for their buoyancy of line and vibrancy of colors. Another winning entry in the Froggy series.
