Book description
Nothing's more beautiful than a snowy winter day--unless you're a warm-hearted but cold-bloodied amphibian. Frog doesn't have fur or fat or feathers to keep warm like his friends Hare, Pig, and Duck. But with a little help from these friends, Frog just might find a way to keep himself hopping till spring. Full-color illustrations.
BookList
Velthuijs' spindly green frog, making his third appearance, battles with the vagaries of winter. None of his friends seem to mind the cold winter months, but, of course, Duck has feathers, Rabbit has fur, and Pig has a layer of fat to help combat the cold. When his friends realize the problem, they make sure Frog wears warm clothes when he's out in the snow. Though this improves the situation, it's not until spring that Frog really feels himself again. Not much happens here, and probably only very young kids (or Frog's particular fans) will be held by the story. Velthuijs, who has received his native Netherlands' Golden Pencil award for his art, provides eye-catching pictures, all bright colors, simple shapes, and deadpan expressions that extend the text. This has story time possibilities for the youngest.
Publishers Weekly
Velthuijs's winning amphibian here confronts the perplexities of winter--a bone-numbing season if one lacks the protective feathers of Duck, or the fat of Pig, or the nice warm fur of Hare. Half-frozen and miserable, Frog can only look on while the others enjoy skating or a snowball fight; but when his friends take matters in hand and ensure that he has a blazing fire, hot soup, a cozy new sweater and abundant companionship, he comes to appreciate many of the season's pleasures. Neatly framed oils in a gently droll style admirably suit Velthuijs's low-key plot and characters. His simple, sure lines deftly depict the animals' changing emotions, from Frog's bewilderment, dismay, despair and--eventually--contentment, to his friends' solicitous concern. The story's message is likewise understated but genuine: by pulling together, friends can transform even the bleakest scenario, and the effort proves worthwhile all around.
