Kokí hates doing work, but when he is caught in a flood and transformed into a frog, the only way to turn back into a child is to help the frog village with chores. Rodriguez's slick, cartoony illustrations are filled with bold colors and humorous details (such as "piratas," who are actually rats), but the heavy-handed moral weakens this Spanish-language tale.
