Description

Perfect for readers who love Dragons Love Tacos and Room on the Broom and now available as an unjacketed, lower-priced hardcover edition!  

Frogs are the most important ingredient in a witch’s favorite treat-but they are also the hardest to get into the cauldron!  From acclaimed author Casey Lyall and Caldecott Honor artist Vera Brosgol,  A Spoonful of Frogs  is a humorous and wholly original picture book that The Horn Book called “a chef’s-kiss of comic timing” in a starred review.

A witch’s favorite treat is frog soup. Luckily, it’s healthy and easy to make. To give it that extra kick and a pop of color, the key ingredient is a spoonful of frogs. But how do you keep the frogs on the spoon? They hop, they leap, they hide . . . and they escape. What is a poor witch to do?

Casey Lyall is a master of comedic timing with her deceptively simple and energetic text, and Caldecott Honor winner Vera Brosgol’s vibrant, hilarious illustrations make the witch-and the frogs!-practically leap off the page. The solution to the witch’s dilemma will surprise and delight young readers and their parents alike.

Teeming with laugher and hijinks,  A Spoonful of Frogs  is pure fun from beginning to end. A must-have for young readers, parents, witches, frog lovers, and aspiring chefs.
