About this title

Review:

Ugly Dogs and Slimy Frogs comprises two short and sweet folk tales in one little book, each of them reminiscent of familiar fairy tales. They are written in an easy-to-read, rhythmic style that encourages children to either read along or read alone.

Both stories--The Great Big Horrid Small-tooth Dog and The Lassie and the Frog--combine classic storytelling with clear, concise writing and bold black and white illustration to break up the text, and are designed to make taking those first all-important steps towards reading and enjoying books just a little less frightening.

Ideal for children who are keen to read alone, but equally as suitable for children who still like to share books with adults, Ugly Dogs and Slimy Frogs will make an excellent addition to any child's bookshelf. (Ages 6-8)--Susan Harrison
