Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review!

This book is so cute! I love the illustrations and straightforward questions that the author poses kids. You know kids want to know if frogs drink hot cocoa. Kids drink hot cocoa, so frogs must also. The book is educational without going over the line into a straight science book. Plus the author gave me a great word to use, frogcycle! "Do frogs drink hot cocoa to not become a frogcycle?!" I Definitely recommend this book! It was very fun.

This is a funny picture book, on one level, and on anther level it is a zoologyical and biological study. The questions may sound silly, but the answers are straight forward. As an example, here is the question penguins.

Do frogs drink-penguens questions
Do frogs drink hot chocolate-pengins yes

And here is the questions about tuataras.
Do frogs drink 1
Do frogs drink-2

All in all, a very accessible book for the curious, that might lead them to more scientific study later in life.

A very cute book! My only complaint is that some of the animals aren’t ones children are likely to be familiar with

I read & evaluated this book for the Vancouver Children's Literature Roundtable (VCLR)'s 2019 Information Book Award.

This book was super funny and cute-- especially the illustrations! There was lots of good, easy to digest information... but sadly, there was no back matter or resources.
