The hilarious sequel to the bestselling Oi Frog! will have children rolling around with laughter. Winner of the 2017 Laugh Out Loud Picture Book Award. Shortlisted for the Sainsbury's Children's Book Award 2016.

Frog's had enough, he's the changing the status quo! Cat insists that there are rules - only mules sit on stools, no one but hares should sit on chairs and however irritating, dogs MUST sit on frogs.

'Well, I'm changing the rules,' said the frog.

'From now on, dogs sit on logs, not frogs!'

And everyone else is going to have to sit somewhere else too. Will Cat want to sit on gnats instead of cushy mats? Will spiders like sitting on gliders? Will whales be happy to sit on nails? And, most importantly, where is FROG going to sit?

Praise for Oi Frog!:

'An absolute treat.' - Daily Mail

'Everyone will love it.' - The Guardian

Can't get enough? Find out what cat's got to say in Oi Cat!, now available for purchase. Want even more? Look out for Oi Duck-billed Platypus!, coming out autumn 2018.

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.

Jim Field is a lead-driven, pencil-pushing, 25-frames-per-second Led Zeppelin fan. He is also a hugely talented illustrator and animation director. His first picture book Cats Ahoy! won the Roald Dahl Funny Prize.

Oi Frog!, Oi Dog! and Oi Cat! are a top ten bestselling series. Oi Dog! won the 2017 Laugh Out Loud Picture Book Award and was shortlisted for the Sainsbury's Children's Book Award and the British Book Awards in 2016, amongst others. It also won the Teach Primary New Children's Fiction Award, MadeForMums Award, Bishop's Stortford Picture Book Award and Portsmouth Picture Book Award. Oi Cat! was the Independent Booksellers Children's Book of the Season and Oi Goat! is a World Book Day book in 2018.

Illustrations are great and text is both clever and funny.

Reviewed in Australia on 10 April 2022

Nice illustrations but the story is not funny and certainly not worth the price. I think they really dropped the ball with their franchise

Reviewed in Australia on 12 August 2018

Love the Oi! series.

Oi Dog is a lovely twist of fate for Cat and Dog...

Our 3 year old absolutely loves joining in and laughs whenever bottoms are mentioned.

Not Suitable Bedtime Reading AT ALL!!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 February 2019

Verified Purchase

These books should come with a warning. I mean honestly how are you supposed to get your kids to sleep after reading them books like this. The Oi series of books just cause raucous laughter and fits of giggles which is not helpful at all at bedtime. I myself pulled a muscle in my side after reading this book for the first time and honestly how am I supposed to be taken seriously telling my boys to calm down and go to sleep when this book makes me giggle every time I read it. These book need to be banned at bedtime immediately!!

Very funny

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 September 2016

Second part in the series after OI FROG. Same as OI FROG, the kids loved OI DOG. It's very funny, and the rhymes are really catchy. The dynamics of the rhymes remind me of the much loved The Cat in the Hat. If you haven't read OI FROG yet, get that one first.
Myself I was a little disappointed, because the book isn't all that different from the first, OI DOG. A bit of a twist would have been welcome. Instead of the grumpy cat, who made the rules in the OI FROG book, it's now the frog who makes his rules. I preferred the cat in OI FROG as the main character, he is such a character - typical blasé as cats are !

SO FUNNY!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 November 2018

Verified Purchase

My Children and I absolutely LOVE these books... This one is MY personal favourite!
Reading this book, in our house, gets very crazy as we laugh and shout at all the animals; especially Cat, Dog and that Frog... while learning about the different letter sounds, and spellings... and the correct seat for each animal, of course!
Suitable for all ages; My son (7) now reads them to his sister (4)... and they can't get enough of them!

Picks up from Oi Frog

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 September 2020

Verified Purchase

Ah my 5 year old loves "oi frog" and decided his reward for reaching the top of his reward chart should be "oi dog"...we now read them back to back (complete with voices) and no doubt we will be adding to the collection with the remaining titles. It's great for rhyming.... except "elephants" and "smelly pants" is a little dubious in my opinion 🙄

Great book series to develop a child's reading techniques

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 October 2020

Verified Purchase

This book and the series are a great way to get your child interested in reading. The rhymes and illustration helped our 3 and 5 year old children develop their reading and it started with borrowing Oi Frog from the library. They loved the book so much that we have bought the whole set. At night we sit back and video them reading out different parts with each taking on the part of the frog, the cat and the dog. Brilliant. Highly recommend and no we are not related to writers.
