Synopsis

From the award-winning Kes Gray and the winner of the Roald Dahl Funny Prize, Jim Field, comes an hilarious counting picture book about our four-legged - and two-legged and eight-legged - friends!

How many legs would there be if a polar bear came for tea? How high would the leg count go if a squid rode in on a buffalo? As more and more animals join in the fun, count along if you can!

Praise for Oi, Frog! also by Kes Gray and Jim Field: 'An absolute treat.' - Daily Mail

About this title

Review:

A chaotically funny counting rhyme with a difference. (The Bookseller)

You get so distracted by the laugh-out-loud and quirky illustrations that you forget about counting (londonmumsmagazine.com)

Another hilarious picture book that has just about everything you could want: great rhymes, Field's uniquely playful illustrations and counting to boot. Charming and original (huffingtonpost.co.uk)

Picture book perfection (Books For Keeps)

Each spread is a riot of colour and movement, with small details to be discovered on each re-reading. Children will revel in the anarchy created by the animal guests; this is a joyful story of fun and friendship, with an absorbing built-in mathematical challenge (The School Librarian)

With wonderfully wacky guests splendidly attired, and scenes full of delightfully exuberant eccentricities, this...is a cracker (Red Reading Hub)

Another hilarious page-turning book sure to have both adults and children in stitches (Families Bedfordshire)

Book Description:

A zany rhyming counting story with laugh-out-loud illustrations from an award-winning team.
