A great buy & I would definitely recommend for kids from babies up to around my Sons age. It's a good length too, not too short.
We'll be buying the others in the series soon too, I actually might get him them for his birthday.

It all begins when Cat dramatically shouts, “Oi Frog! Sit on a log!”, but Frog doesn’t really want to sit on a log, so he questions the convention. Cat purrs forth her wisdom (incidentally you can attribute your own genders to the characters, or ignore!) by telling Frog what objects different animals should sit on. Cat’s list goes on and on, with Frog querying how comfortable some of these suggestions are. It all ends with a hilarious twist, which I for one did not see coming!
I first came across this book at my local library. I read it to my three year old, and she immediately demanded that I re-read it to her. On the 5th re-read I had to call my husband for reinforcement (in need of refreshment!), and he read it another couple of times to her. That has never happened before, so I think that’s the biggest accolade we can give this book! Of course, we now have our own copy, and I really genuinely do think this is a future classic that will stand the test of time.
As a parent and teacher, I found it very entertaining myself, and am pretty sure Year 1 teachers would love this book as a fun antidote to phonics drills!
Happy reading!
Pippa


My husband is currently reading it for the first time and giggling like a 5 year old!!
Language is brilliant, the whole book is so simple yet imaginative and fantastically funny!!
My 4 year old daughter will really enjoy it (if my husband can read it aloud to her through his giggles) she loves rhyming books and trying to guess what’s coming next.
Would highly recommend this book, we also bought Oi dog! Oi Cat! too.
The illustrations are bold and eye catching.
