My Friend Rabbit과 Time Flies로 Caldecott 상을 수상한 Eric Rohmann의 그림책입니다.

호랑이에게 쫓기던 개구리 한 마리가 깊은 구덩이에 빠져 버리고 맙니다. 지나가던 생쥐가 개구리를 꺼내주려다가 역시 구덩이에 빠져 버리고, 늘보원숭이, 말레이곰, 원숭이도 역시 구덩이에 빠지는 신세가 됩니다. 호랑이는 구덩이 안에 맛있는 먹이감들이 가득 있는 것을 보고는 입맛을 다시면서 모두 잡아 먹으려고 합니다만, 그때 쿵쿵 소리를 내면서 누군가가 구덩이에 빠진 동물들을 구해주기 위해 다가옵니다. 쿵쿵 소리가 날 때마다 마치 지진이 난 것처럼 땅이 흔들리고, 그 바람에 구덩이 위의 나뭇가지에 매달려서 입맛을 다시고 있던 호랑이가 그만 구덩이 안으로 떨어지고 맙니다.그 사이에 코끼리는 긴 코를 이용해서 다른 동물들을 구덩이에서 꺼내 줍니다. 졸지에 신세가 뒤바뀐 호랑이는 동물들에게 자기를 좀 꺼내달라고 애원을 합니다만, 동물들은 Oh, No!" 단호하게 거절하고는 숲 속으로 사라집니다...

단순한 줄거리와 반복되는 문장으로 구성되어 있습니다만, 위험에 빠진 동물들이 구조되는 과정을 보면서 어린 독자들이 긴박함과 통쾌함을 느낄 수 있습니다.

Book Description
"This picture book reads like an instant classic.... Oh, yes!" raved Kirkus Reviews in a starred review.

Young children will delight in repeating the refrain "OH, NO!" as one animal after another falls into a deep, deep hole in this lively read-aloud. This simple and irresistible picture book by hugely popular picture book creators - Candace Fleming and Caldecott medalist Eric Rohmann - feels like a classic-in-the-making. Fans of Rohmann's Caldecott Medal­-winning My Friend Rabbit, will be thrilled to see a new book created in the same expressive and comical style.



School Library Journal *Starred Review*
Rohmann's relief prints bring an exuberant humor to Fleming's rhythmic read-aloud. When an elastic-looking frog falls into a deep hole ("Ribbit-oops!"), a timid mouse, lugubrious loris, resourceful sun bear, and jaunty monkey all tumble down after him during unsuccessful rescue attempts. Fleming's bouncing rhymes and repeated lines-set in comfortably large, rounded text-entice readers into an enjoyable delivery complete with snarled sound effects and onomatopoeic exclamations. The repetitive "Oh, no!" allows listeners to join in with the engaging text as the animals face a lurking tiger eager to snack on the helpless group. Rohmann knows to leave swathes of open space in his full-spread illustrations, focusing attention on his expressive, energetic animals in their vibrant safari palette of bright browns, tans, and greens. In a satisfying conclusion, the refrain returns as the tiger, now stuck in the hole, asks the released animals if they will help him clamber out. Oh, no!



Publishers Weekly *Starred Review*
“In this first collaboration from Fleming (Clever Jack Takes the Cake) and Rohmann (Bone Dog), jungle animals tumble one by one into a deep pit: 'Frog fell into a deep, deep hole. Ribbit-oops! Ribbit-oops!' The rhythm of the lines recalls the old favorite 'Frog Went A-Courtin',' and the story's chain of accidents and bumbling characters are friendly, familiar devices, too. Mouse falls in trying to rescue Frog, Loris tumbles down from a tree, Sun Bear's rescue attempt fails, Monkey's swing from a vine goes wrong, but - just as Tiger looms above - they're all rescued by a kindly elephant. It sounds like light fare, but Rohmann's magnificent woodblock-style prints give it unexpected dignity. The jungle pit is as spacious as a cathedral, and the animals somersault into it like Olympic divers in slow motion. Humor prevails, though, with piquant sound words ('The ground bumble-rumbled and quake-shake-quaked'), speech balloons floating up out of the pit, and glimpses of the tiger's tail and paws. It's a book with the feel of an older classic - and it may well become one.”



Kirkus Reviews *Starred Review*
“With text that begs to be read aloud and sumptuous illustrations made by a master printmaker, this picture book reads like an instant classic. Jacket art populated by several animals that appear in the story establishes the Asian jungle setting: A toothsome tiger lurks, while a loris, mouse and frog cower on front and back boards. The palette is rich with shades of brown, green, orange and bluish-gray, and the cover’s scene carries over on to endpapers that show Tiger stalking Frog. The chase continues across front matter pages until the first spread reads: 'Frog fell into a deep, deep hole. Ribbit-oops! Ribbit-oops!' Dramatic visual perspective captures Frog’s fall, and the following spread shows Tiger settling in for his next move on his prey. As Tiger waits, a speech balloon heralds the titular cry, 'Oh, no!' Clearly, Frog is in trouble, and on ensuing pages, several animals make rescue attempts, only to fall into the hole as well. Finally, a trumpeting, stomping elephant arrives and uses its trunk to save almost all of the trapped animals: Tiger (who had tried to get to the animals with dinner rather than rescue on his mind), falls into the hole on a prior spread, and after the elephant’s valiant rescue, they all cry 'Oh, no!' when he cries for help. Oh, yes! This is a terrific new picture book.”
