Froggie is jumping out of his skin with anticipation after Rabbit tells him their friends Gander, Goose, and new baby Gosling are coming to visit. However, baby Gosling does nothing but cry--until Froggie entertains her. The pacing is off (the characters spend way too much time cleaning), but Froggie's enthusiasm, shown in eye-catching acrylic, ink, and pencil illustrations, is infectious.
