Life According To Og The Frog by Betty G. Birney, 150 pages
“The adventures in
Humphrey's Room 26 are hopping back into the spotlight, from the perspective of
Og the Frog! When Og the Frog first comes to Room 26, he doesn't know
what to think. He misses his friends from the pond, there are all kinds of
strange noises, and the water is his tank just might be too clean (you know, a
little muck never hurt anyone). But the furry, squeaky fellow living next to
him is endlessly entertaining, the kids sure are friendly, and--BING, BANG,
BOING!--they put big fat crickets right into his tank. All of this gives Og
lots of ideas for one of his favorite pastimes--making up poems and songs. But
he gets stumped when talk turns to sending him back to the pond. Will he have
to say good-bye to Tabitha whose whole life just changed like his? Or Mandy who
just started seeing the bright side of things with his help? And Humphrey, who
he's finally beginning to figure out? Og's frog's-eye view of the world is
curious, sympathetic, and poetic, and the perfect companion to The World
According to Humphrey.” This is a cute series
for younger chapter book readers. I
liked this addition to the series and kids who like animal stories will
probably like the series in general and this book in particular.
