Synopsis
Gilbert spends most of his time lazily dozing on the dock, until, one day, two gourmet chefs de cuisine arrive at the pond in search of dinner. Too fat to escape, Gilbert must guarantee his survival by convincing the culinary masters that bugs, not frogs, are all the rage in the chic-est culinary circles.

Review

"A word of warning: do not read GILBERT DE LA FROGPONDE to your child at bedtime, or you may find yourself in the same predicament I did: I couldn't get him to stop laughing and go to sleep" -- Boston Herald, 11/30/97
