adorable submitted by unknown on July 30, 2013, 2:21pm Ribbit! Is the story of a family of frogs that live in a pond. One day they find a surprise, a pig! All the pig will say is "Ribbit!" Is the pig confused? Is he making fun of the frogs? Maybe all of the animals that live nearby can figure out what is going on. Trying to figure it out might actually cause some problems with all of the animals. Thankfully the wise old beetle should be able to figure it all out. Then again, figuring out the problem is pretty difficult when you can't find the frog. Where will he turn up next? I don't want to spoil the ending, because it is extra special. It shows how it is okay to think outside of the box or branch out to others you might not normally be friends with. It's totally okay to be different!

The illustrations in this picture book are sweet. I like the colors. I love that the pig's nose is a heart on many of the pages. Even the words look cute (I love the font). It is slightly long to read in story time at the library where I work, but I think it is just cute enough to work anyway. There aren't too many words per page, and the story is pretty captivating. It even has humor. The fact that there is a good moral to the story makes it even better. I really can't wait to share it with 3 to 5 year olds.
