The Frog House

32 pp. | Dutton | March, 2004 | Trade ISBN 0-525-46174-4 $$15.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Barbara Garrison. An apple-shaped birdhouse becomes home for a tree frog, but his rest is interrupted by three birds, a squirrel, and a cat. Ultimately, he finds a frog friend to share his house. Themes of home and friendship are smoothly integrated into the story, and unusual illustrations create an old-fashioned look, but the story's repetition and rapid conclusion may turn off some readers.
