We love this book。 So silly :）

The Oi series yet again continues to delight and prove that a simple and fun rhyming tale can still have new and fresh ideas in the fourth entry in the series。It's easy to rhyme Dogs， Cats and Frogs with various items that they should sit on， but what about a Duck-billed Platypus？Frog comes up with a genius idea where the longer named animals should sit。With plenty of fun ideas and striking illustrations that really makes this one of the best modern picture books that both young and old can enjo The Oi series yet again continues to delight and prove that a simple and fun rhyming tale can still have new and fresh ideas in the fourth entry in the series。It's easy to rhyme Dogs， Cats and Frogs with various items that they should sit on， but what about a Duck-billed Platypus？Frog comes up with a genius idea where the longer named animals should sit。With plenty of fun ideas and striking illustrations that really makes this one of the best modern picture books that both young and old can enjoy together。 。。。more

Another edition of the Oi series where the frog makes different things sit on what rhymes with their name。 This time， the animals have names that don't rhyme with anything so the rhyme is by the animal's actual name （Sally， Jim， Bob， etc）。 Another edition of the Oi series where the frog makes different things sit on what rhymes with their name。 This time， the animals have names that don't rhyme with anything so the rhyme is by the animal's actual name （Sally， Jim， Bob， etc）。 。。。more

I love this whole series！ The illustrations are clever and tongue-in-cheek - so much expression in the animals' faces and so many fun little details in their clothes and accessories。 And each book has their own punchline at the end of all the rhyming - even as an adult， it's much fun to read。 How they build on each other makes for some fun reading too。 Compared to the others in the series， here Frog has the challenge of rhyming animals like Duck-billed Platypus and Camel and Porcupine （much more I love this whole series！ The illustrations are clever and tongue-in-cheek - so much expression in the animals' faces and so many fun little details in their clothes and accessories。 And each book has their own punchline at the end of all the rhyming - even as an adult， it's much fun to read。 How they build on each other makes for some fun reading too。 Compared to the others in the series， here Frog has the challenge of rhyming animals like Duck-billed Platypus and Camel and Porcupine （much more challenging than Cat and Frog and Dog）。 A fun way to get kids thinking outside of the box with rhyming names and terms。 Plus a chance to learn some fun， more unusual animals。 Definitely a storytime read。Note: this series is definitely a British one。 Sometimes the slang （brollies） shows it， and sometimes it's in the pronunciations to make the rhymes。 Here we also have a very Irish name （Niamh） which rhymes with "leaves"。 。。。more

Immy ，

Great book to reinforce knowledge of rhyming。 Each animal has an item that rhymes。 Could be a good starting point for poetry based on the same theme？ Or a story or maybe a piece of art with their own rhyming animal。

Alexandra Price ，

Fantastic new addition to the series！

Sarah ，

I feel mean saying this because everyone else seems to love this one it’s my least favourite of the series。

A hilarious story about a frog who tries to rhyme animals to know where they can sit。I just couldn't resist this book when I saw it in the library。 It looked cute， and I was curious where the animals should have to sit。 Sure， I was a bit confused， why couldn't the animals just sit on chairs and the likes？ But then I shrugged and went along with it。As you read， the frog has to rhyme animals names with where they can sit。。。 it sounds simple， but can you think of anything that rhymes with platypus A hilarious story about a frog who tries to rhyme animals to know where they can sit。I just couldn't resist this book when I saw it in the library。 It looked cute， and I was curious where the animals should have to sit。 Sure， I was a bit confused， why couldn't the animals just sit on chairs and the likes？ But then I shrugged and went along with it。As you read， the frog has to rhyme animals names with where they can sit。。。 it sounds simple， but can you think of anything that rhymes with platypus and ibex？ Only he isn't having an easy time as is evidenced。 These are the animals with not so easy to rhyme names。 There is a whole group just waiting for frog to tell them where to sit， patiently but also eager to learn their sitting destination。 But then an idea pops in his head and I just loved it。 He thinks of a wonderful plan and helps out everyone。。。 well。。 Nah， you will have to read to find out。I had a laugh seeing where the animals had to sit。 From slippers to sailors to sherbet candy。 Don't think you will ever get a normal seat。 He really is wonderful at rhyming， though with some I had a hard time seeing how it rhymed。 Then again， I am not native English so maybe the pronunciation I know is different from how some English people would do it。 The art was really fun， I loved seeing the various animals and how they were drawn。This book isn't only fun for the rhyming and seeing frog be creative and original， but also for kids to learn various animals。 Review first posted at https://twirlingbookprincess。com/ 。。。more

This one is wonderful as it's so imaginative。 It focuses on the more exotic animals with names that are not easy to rhyme with。 It's funny and witty as you would expect。 Absolutely brilliant。 This one is wonderful as it's so imaginative。 It focuses on the more exotic animals with names that are not easy to rhyme with。 It's funny and witty as you would expect。 Absolutely brilliant。 。。。more

One of the better installments in the Oi！ series。 A ton of exotic animals demand that Frog tells them exactly what they should be sitting on， but when Frog struggles to make any rhymes he quickly starts making them sit on things that rhyme with their first names！ Some of the animals that pop up are surprising， so it's a great chance to introduce your little one to animals that they won't have encountered before （especially not in picture books）， and with so many common names featured there are g One of the better installments in the Oi！ series。 A ton of exotic animals demand that Frog tells them exactly what they should be sitting on， but when Frog struggles to make any rhymes he quickly starts making them sit on things that rhyme with their first names！ Some of the animals that pop up are surprising， so it's a great chance to introduce your little one to animals that they won't have encountered before （especially not in picture books）， and with so many common names featured there are going to be a lot of children who get very excited when Frog rhymes their name with the thing that they're supposed to sit on。 Of course， this is an Oi！ book， so things do get pretty ridiculous - especially when the kangaroo turns up - but that just means it will also appeal to your slightly older children too。 。。。more

A good-humoured and easy read。 It has us all giggling and listening。 Good for reading to a whole class。 Years 2 and 3。

Fun but to be honest wearing thin now

Chris Harvey ，

You would think after so many Oi！ books they would get boring， but this ones is just as good as the others。

Melissa T ，

Very funny！

Scott ，

Very nice！ Follows the same pattern as the previous books and kids will love it。 It helps if you know some Aussie lingo and speak Strayan。 I kinda don't but I'll give it my best when I read it aloud to classes of kids！ Might be the funniest of the series due to the sheer volume of animals involved。 I didn't see the twist at the end coming。 Well done！ Very nice！ Follows the same pattern as the previous books and kids will love it。 It helps if you know some Aussie lingo and speak Strayan。 I kinda don't but I'll give it my best when I read it aloud to classes of kids！ Might be the funniest of the series due to the sheer volume of animals involved。 I didn't see the twist at the end coming。 Well done！ 。。。more

Another brilliant book from Kes。 It's the perfect blend of funny and downright bonkers。 I adore the whole series and its one of my favourite books to read with the kids。 In our home these have overtaken Julia Donaldson on the most read bedtime stories front。 Another brilliant book from Kes。 It's the perfect blend of funny and downright bonkers。 I adore the whole series and its one of my favourite books to read with the kids。 In our home these have overtaken Julia Donaldson on the most read bedtime stories front。 。。。more

First completed read of 2019。。。 unexpectedly but gloriously。 Kes Gray and Jim Field have taken their Oi concept， given it a good shake and out roll more deliciously alliterating diamonds and a laugh out loud （sorry， quiet bookshop） last line。

Perfect for reading aloud to 5+ year olds （adults included）。 Although it's awesome on it's own， you'll get more fun by reading the whole series in order。 Perfect for reading aloud to 5+ year olds （adults included）。 Although it's awesome on it's own， you'll get more fun by reading the whole series in order。 。。。more

This has to be my favourite yet from the wonderful team of Kes Grey and Jim Field。 In hindsight， frog， cat and dog are really easy words to rhyme with。 Our imaginative frog is given a much bigger task to find rhyming words for some difficult names because these animals don’t know where they can possibly sit。 Luckily， he quickly makes rhymes with the animal’s first names。 I wonder if every child in the class can find a word to rhyme with their name？ With Jim Field’s bright and lively illustration This has to be my favourite yet from the wonderful team of Kes Grey and Jim Field。 In hindsight， frog， cat and dog are really easy words to rhyme with。 Our imaginative frog is given a much bigger task to find rhyming words for some difficult names because these animals don’t know where they can possibly sit。 Luckily， he quickly makes rhymes with the animal’s first names。 I wonder if every child in the class can find a word to rhyme with their name？ With Jim Field’s bright and lively illustrations this will have great appeal to all readers young and old。 The looks on the animal’s faces are magnificent。 。。。more
