While the animal-costume-obsessed narrator tries to make his math-enthusiast friend Camille a frog outfit like his, they have an argument. The offbeat book's abstractions may throw some readers: Camille speaks in numbers ("23" means "yes," "17" means "no"), and numerals are decorative motifs in deGennaro's enterprising art. But persevering readers will find a sweet story about sustaining a friendship despite differing personalities.
