Overview
Frogs make all kinds of weird and wonderful sounds, often very loudly, and without opening their mouths! Each page features a different frog and the onomatopoetic call it makes. Readers are invited to sing along with them. Two pages of endnotes tell you more about the frogs and suggest some froggy activities. There is a link to Little Cricket Press's page where the reader can listen to recordings of the actual frogs in the books. This was first published by Dawn Publications in 2013, but, sadly, the company is no more. The frogs now sing on for Little Cricket Press!

Reviews
School Library Journal: ""PreS-Gr 1- ""...Himmelman wows with large-scale, realistic paintings of various frogs and toads in their natural habitats. After a paragraph introducing why and how these creatures produce sounds, each following spread features one species, from peepers and toads to bullfrogs and pickerels. The richly colored backgrounds are as varied as a purple sky above a creek and a blazing desert. The author includes a silent salamander, explaining its close relation as an amphibian. Many children will enjoy mimicking the diverse noises, and budding biologists will savor the illustrations.-Gay Lynn Van Vleck, Henrico County Library, Glen Allen, VAα(c) Copyright 2013. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. ""Children won't be able to resist mimicking the various frog calls that come to life in John Himmelman's Noisy Frog Sing-Along. The delightful illustrations and engaging text enable budding naturalists to identify frog with both their eyes and ears!"" - Mary Holland, author, Naturally Curious, Milkweed Visitors, and Ferdinand Fox's First Summer. ""Here's a great family book -the perfect way to release the inner frog of a child near you! Trill like a toad. Ribbit like a Pacific Treefrog. Jug-o-rum like a bullfrog. Amusing frog calls and great art will encourage youngsters to meet the frogs. Ample background material will enable adults to answer children's questions. What a delightful introduction to fun amphibians -Leo Kenney, co-author, Field Guide to Animals of Vernal Pools.
