FROGGY GOES TO SCHOOL

Jonathan London's well-loved Froggy faces the challenges of youth with indomitable spirit. In this adventure, the source of angst is the start of school. Froggy rallies from a restless night to flop-flop-flop through his first day, no matter what calamity arises, with verve. John McDonough is a fine choice for Froggy. He provides gusto for Froggy's signature "Ooops!" and a gravelly timbre that is at home in this fantastic frog community. His steady pace mirrors the deliberateness of Froggy's actions and leaves time for the humor to bubble to the surface. A.R. © AudioFile 2005, Portland, Maine [Published: JUNE/JULY 05]
