About this audiobook
It's a week before Valentine's Day, and Froggy's thoughts are full of candy. Then he sees Frogilina. She's the new girl in school and the cutest frog he has ever seen. Every time she gets close to him, his insides feel wiggly, his mind wanders, and bonk!, he hits his head. Froggy thinks he's in love until Frogilina gives him a big kiss, smack, on the lips. Now he's not so sure. Froggy's class makes paper valentines, and he makes an extra special one that says "I Love You." But now, with everyone teasing him, who will be Froggy's Valentine? Young listeners who are wondering if they want to be a little more grown-up will enjoy hearing Froggy's humorous tale as he discovers that there is more to Valentine's Day than candy. John McDonough's spirited narration will have kids giggling as they flop along with Froggy through his first crush.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I love Froggy. He’s goofy and silly and relishes new things, except perhaps his first kiss. This is a great read-a-loud to share on Valentine’s Day! The trick to any Froggy book is to read it with PASSION! Get into all the sounds effects! Let that "Ewww" reverberate off the walls! When the teacher yells for Froggy, you YELL OUT too, in the squeakiest old-teacher voice you can muster! So what if you’re in a library (yes, this coming from a Children’s Librarian)! Books are meant to be enjoyed and if you are to teach that to a young child, then you need to SHOW that you find enjoyment too! Dive into the book with reckless abandon and the kids will love it; and you’ll be surprised to learn that they don’t care if you mess up on a word or don’t pronounce something just right; they simply delight in the moment shared.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Summary:Froggy has a hard time paying attention in school, especially when he realizes how pretty his classmate Frogilina is. They eat lunch together and she always gives him some of her lunch, but throughout the story he gets hurt several times from staring at her beauty. In their class, they make homemade valentines and Froggy writes an, “I love you” on his. He was going to give it to Frogilina, until she kisses him and embarrassed, he just gives the valentine to his mom who gives him lots of candy kisses. Personal Reaction:I thought this story was adorable! I have always loved Valentine’s Day, and I think this a perfect day to read to students around Valentine’s Day! This book makes me think back on how when I was in Elementary school, I always had these boys crushes and I would play with them on the playground at recess though I never kissed any of them like Frogilina did Froggy. Extension Ideas:1) Have the students make their own homemade valentines in class for someone that is special to them. 2) Have the students write it in their daily writing journal what they would have done if they were Froggy and Frogilina kissed them.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I really thought this book was pretty awful. I feel like it's a book meant for younger kids, but the theme is meant for slightly older children who wouldn't really be interested in this book. The only redeeming factor is that it shows that he knows the value of his mother when he gives her his best Valentine's card.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This book approaches a lot of themes that are relavent to many differnet ages. Each of us take a step towards romance great with all ages.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Froggy falls for the new girl in class- he thinks he’s in love! His love involves injuring himself at the sight of her, and getting things from her at lunch- even a kiss! But his true love who he makes his valentine for isn’t the new girl- it’s his mother.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A great read aloud for Valentine's Day.
