FROGGY PLAYS IN THE BAND

Froggy is ba-a-a-a-ck! This time it's the school band that will never quite be the same. There's a prize to win, and Froggy is determined to be there. He practices on his father's saxophone and memorizes the rules for marching. And, as Jonathan London has shown in his other Froggy books, Froggy surprises and brings smiles to all. John McDonough is a fine choice for narrator. He clearly enjoys his role as the persistent and incorrigible frog. McDonough leaves time for the signature flopping of Froggy's feet and stretches out Froggy's whines and exclamations. His gruff croaks exude friendliness. A.R.
