I've bought the whole Oi-Frog series for my daughter on the strength of this book, and am looking forward to many more fun bedtime stories. Thank you Kes Gray and Jim field! The Oi Frog books have won several awards, including the Laugh Out Loud Picture Book Award for Oi Dog! and the Lollies Picture Book Award. The books have sold over one million copies and there has even been an Oi Frog theatre production and a World Book Day book in 2018 with Oi Goat!. Overall, it's a funny story and the ending is silly, but somewhat expected. I think this book would make a fun read-aloud with a group, although some of the rhymes are a bit awkward. Each animal's designated seat rhymes with that animal's name. "It's not about being comfortable," explains the cat. "It's about doing the right thing."

Doing his best to find an alternative place to sit, the frog asks the cat a litany of questions. For every answer the cat has, the frog has another question--until the frog finds out what dogs sit on! It's very simple, really. Cats sit on mats, hares sit on chairs, mules sit on stools, gophers sit on sofas, and frogs sit on logs." Hilarious illustrations and rhymes... everyone will love it." — Libby Allman (Children's Book Specialist)

A] hugely enjoyable piece of rhyming fun...This is simply an absolute delight to read aloud with your child and became a firm bedtime favourite with my 6 year old daughter Coco" commented radio 2's Jo Whiley — Teach Primary Cats sit on mats, hares sit on chairs, mules sit on stools and gophers sit on sofas. But Frog does not want to sit on a log.”

Kes Grayn ja Jim Fieldin "Oi, Frog" (Hodder Children Books, 2015) ei nimestään huolimatta kerro epäonnisesta ranskalaisesta, joka tulee törmänneeksi laumaan brittiläisiä jalkapallohuligaaneja, vaan sammakosta, joka saa kuulla että tukki on - kivuliaisuudestaan huolimatta - ainoa hänelle sovelias istumapaikka. Brilliant illustrations with hilarious story outcome... perfect author/illustrator pairing. A real winner."— Peters eGazette Written by Kes Gray and illustrated by Jim Field, these books are firm favourites with parents and kids alike and are brilliant for learning about rhyming too. Readers will enjoy the clever play on words as well as the bold and comical illustrations" — Carousel 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 whose previous clients have included Waterstones, Sainsbury's, Oxfam, The Independent, The Guardian, The FT, Channel 4, Virgin Mobile, Nokia, GQ, Haymarket and BAC.This genuinely hilarious book is brilliantly simple, based on the idea that the author-illustrator can only draw very childlike worms. Highly recommended. Laugh out loud funny, with great illustrations... cries out for a second reading immediately! * * * * *" — Bookbag 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
