Our copy of Jump, Frog, Jump is a board book and well-loved in our home.

The story is simple and sweet, and the illustrations are colorful and fun. The story builds on itself and by the end my kids are all reading along.

My kids love the ending! My four-year-old has even learned that the "!" at the end of "Jump, frog, jump!" means it's supposed to be loud! The seven-year-old also loves when the snake eats the fish.

This books holds a special place in my heart because in addition to being a favorite of my childhood, several years ago I became friends with the author's daughter!
