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

Kes Gray is a bestselling, multi award-winning author of more than 70 books for children. He eats Ideaflakes for breakfast, spreads silliness on his toast and lives in a place called Different.

Review

A chaotically funny counting rhyme with a difference. ― The Bookseller Published On: 2014-12-01

You get so distracted by the laugh-out-loud and quirky illustrations that you forget about counting ― londonmumsmagazine.com Published On: 2015-03-05

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 Published On: 2015-03-13

Picture book perfection ― Books For Keeps Published On: 2015-03-01

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

Field's illustrations are bursting with energy and silliness, and Gray's fertile imagination conjures up bizarre scenarios that will have little ones giggling out loud and making up new rhymes of their own. An absolute treat. - Daily Mail

Laugh out loud funny, with great illustrations... cries out for a second reading immediately! - Bookbag

Brilliant illustrations with hilarious story outcome... perfect author/illustrator pairing. A real winner. - Peters eGazette

A hilarious rhyming story which has animals sitting on more and more unlikely things, all in the interests of rhyme... perfectly pitched for young children. - Parents in Touch

A hilarious tale with brilliant illustrations, this book is absolutely perfect for storytime. - Bookseller

Engaging, fun and learning all in one.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 February 2020

Of course this was going to be a big hit considering the authors but we really had fun with this one. Great way to introduce numbers, counting and addition in a fun and easily accessible way. The illustrations are clever and lead you through the story and gets you counting along the way!!

Not a good story

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 April 2020

Verified Purchase

Not a good book. Too much going on and not the simple fun element like the oi frog range.

5 year old who loves all the oi front range agrees.
