In Oi Dog!, Frog challenges the established seating rules, leading to a humorous adventure that delights children and encourages creativity.
In Oi Dog!, the delightful sequel to the award-winning Oi Frog!, readers are invited back into a whimsical world where animals have their own peculiar rules about sitting. Frog, tired of the traditional sitting arrangements dictated by Cat, decides it’s time to shake things up. With a humorous determination, Frog declares that dogs will no longer sit on frogs but instead on logs, challenging the status quo that has long been accepted in their animal kingdom. This playful rebellion sets off a chain reaction of questions about where each animal will sit next.
As Frog takes charge, the story unfolds into a series of hilarious scenarios. Will Cat find comfort sitting on gnats instead of the usual cushy mats? What about spiders and their affinity for gliders? The narrative is filled with charming illustrations that bring the absurdity of the situation to life, making it a visual treat for young readers. Each turn of the page reveals more laughter as the animals grapple with their new seating arrangements.
Oi Dog! not only entertains but also encourages children to think about rules and the importance of questioning them. With its engaging storyline and vibrant illustrations by Jim Field, this book is sure to be a favorite among children and parents alike. It’s a celebration of creativity, humor, and the joy of reading together.
