Ribbiting Tales: Original Stories about Frogs

119 pp. | Philomel | October, 2000 | Trade ISBN 0-399-23312-1 $$16.99
(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Tony DiTerlizzi. This uneven collection includes a tall tale about a frog who jumps over the moon and a retread of the Pied Piper legend featuring amphibians rather than rats. The best of the entries, by Janet Taylor Lisle and David Lubar, have a tongue-in-cheek quality, but a dark, first-person Bible retelling by Stephen Menik seems inconsistent with the volume's light tone and comedic black-and-white illustrations.
Reviewer: Peter D. Sieruta
