Synopsis

Froggy's a little nervous about his check-up. "What if the doctor wants to give me a shot?" he thinks. He worries as he dresses, and then he can't sit still in the waiting room. Finally, Dr. Mugwort is ready to examine him. But as Froggy undresses he realizes he forgot something important . . . his underwear! Ooops! And that's just the beginning of Froggy's hilarious doctor visit that ends reassuringly with a gold star and a lollipop.

"This is a great read-aloud with sounds and words that encourage active participation. . . . A charming story to calm those pre-school jitters." (School Library Journal on Froggy Goes to School)

Jonathan London and Frank Remkiewicz collaborated on ten popular previous Froggy books, including Froggy Gets Dressed, Froggy Goes to School, Froggy's First Kiss, Froggy Goes to Bed and the latest, Froggy Plays in the Band.

About this title

Review:

Kids who go to the doctor for a routine checkup shouldn't worry too much. Unless they accidentally throw a paper airplane ("zwish!") into the doctor's eye. Or forget to wear underwear. ("Oops!") Or kick the doctor in the chin when she's testing knee reflexes with a little rubber hammer. ("Clack!") The beloved Froggy is his usual out-of-control self in Dr. Mugwort's office, and preschoolers pondering an impending doctor visit will be relieved to know it won't be too bad, might be fun, and could even involve a gold star or a lollipop. Jonathan London and illustrator Frank Remkiewicz disarm their young readers with giggles in books from Froggy Learns to Swim to Froggy Goes to School. Froggy's silly sound effects and slapstick antics guarantee a lively read-aloud. If laughter is indeed the best medicine, it's good to have a little Froggy on hand.
