Synopsis
Bad frogs wear bad hats. Bad frogs wear dark glasses & ride their skateboards where they shouldn't. They slouch, chew gum & they never brush their teeth. Could they be good? Crunch their toast quietly? Dress up in tutus? Not a chance! They'll be bad frogs a forever!

About the Author
Thacher Hurd is the author and illustrator of many books for children, including Mama Don't Allow, which won the Boston Globe Horn Book Award, and was a featured selection on Reading Rainbow; Art Dog; Zoom City, a New York Times Best Illustrated Book for Children; and Mystery on the Docks, also a Reading Rainbow book. This is Thacher's first book for Walker. He and his wife divide their time between Berkeley, California, and their family farm in Vermont
From Publishers Weekly
Hurd's artwork is as exuberant as ever—his portraits of mischief-making amphibians have a ripped-from-the-easel sense of fun, with colors that look like they dried only minutes before readers opened the book. But those who have grown up with Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon may find Hurd's idea of defying social norms tame: riding motorcycles, burping, Smelling yucky. Talking crummy. Wearing bad hats. Wearing dark glasses. (This is not to say that parents will wholeheartedly approve of riding skateboards down the banister or spilling water out of the bathtub.) Curiously, Hurd (Mama Don't Allow) doesn't include a larger society being shocked by these actions—if the frogs live in a world where everyone breaks the rules, what's the biggie? Even the concluding reassurance that these frogs are unapologetic in their behavior (They'll fight with their toothbrushes. They'll fall out of bed. They'll be... bad frogs forever) doesn't make up for their wimpiness as rebellious role models. Ages 3–7. (Mar.)
