Stink and the Freaky Frog Freakout
by Megan McDonald
Rating: 5 of 5 stars
My Review:
My kids loved this book. There weren't a whole lot of pictures in
this book, so I'd say for independent readers it's probably more for
late second/early third grade. It was slightly more content than my
seven year old wanted to read on his own, but both boys (7 and 4) sat
for the whole story and talked about it for ages.
My kids don't have the fantasy/realism figured out yet, so they do
really believe that Stink was turning into a frog. Actually, I take
that back. They're convinced that Stink really did get the
characteristics of a frog (just like Spiderman). This book convinced
my older son that he should get better at swimming. And my younger
son took away that if Stink can learn to dunk his head, then so can
he.
I love that in each book Stink is able to overcome some issue or
resolve some problem. Each one has convinced my kids that they can
tackle something that has previously been scary. I'm sure this one
will be read multiple times as each of my boys become more
independent readers.
