Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Froggy Goes to School
Jonathan London · 1948
82/100
👍 Worth It
Froggy Goes to School is a near-perfect picture book for the preschool-to-kindergarten read-aloud moment — the sound words, the comic mishaps, and the gentle resolution of first-day anxiety are calibrated exactly right for three-to-six-year-olds. School Library Journal and Kirkus both praised it and long-running library circulation backs that up. The only hiccup is the incorrect catalog year, which doesn't affect the book itself at all.
