This was a super cute informative book about frogs! I absolutely adore the creatures so this is definitely a pick up for any kids in my family

My children enjoyed this book. They ate learning to read. The illustrations were a delight. A great addition to a child's library.

A quirky, fun book with plenty of froggy facts. In "Nobody Likes Frogs," Turtle does NOT like frogs--they have bulging eyes and slime and, worst of all, they burp! In this informational fiction story, readers learn the truth about frogs in a fun, engaging way, even if grumpy turtle remains unconvinced.

What a wonderful learning book about frogs. Anyone will enjoy this book if they want to learn about frogs. Lots of informative details to help you learn about these creatures. Kids are going to love this book as well as some adults. Good resource for information about frogs.

A primer to the nature – the noises, the leaps, the skin – of a frog, interrupted in meta, argumentative kinda manner by a turtle. I could never pretend to loving this approach, but I didn't mind it too much as a way to ease the lesson down, as slender as that may be. I think the biggest sin is the crossed-species punchline of the subtitle, which helps nobody. As far as this goes – and, to repeat, this is not that far – this is three and a half stars.

Nobody Likes Frogs: A Book of Toadally Fun Facts, written by Barbara Davis-Pyles and illustrated by Liz Wong, is currently scheduled for release on April 25 2023. Why would you pick up a book about frogs? Nobody likes them! At least according to Persnickety Q. Turtle. In this humorous narrative nonfiction picture book the text cleverly puts the reader in the role of the “expert” to educate a persnickety turtle about the amazing amphibian known as the frog. With the reader's help, Persnickety Q. Turtle learns intriguing frog facts, such as they can breathe through their skin while underwater and their eyes help them swallow. Pick up this book and help Persnickety find out all the reasons frogs are such incredible creatures.

Nobody Likes Frogs is a fun and informative picturebook that uses a cranky turtle to help dispel some myths (real and imagined) about frogs and share some great information about them. I thought the facts were well chosen and shared, and I thought the art work did a great job of capturing and keeping the readers attention and helping to expand on the points made on the page. I think this delivers on what the book promises ad will be an enjoyable, engaging, and educational book for young readers.

I love the content of this book, but was not a big fan of the presentation.

An obnoxious, poorly drawn, frog-hating turtle serves as a guide through a beautifully illustrated book about frogs. The facts we learn contrast with the venom spewed by the turtle like why frogs "burp" all the time, why they have "slimy" skin, and bulgy eyes. I know this was the author's attempt to "make learning fun," but having this unlikable character be the "star" of the book was probably not a good idea.

On the plus side, there's a delightful collection of facts at the end of the book that I honestly didn't know, along with some suggestions about things even kids can do to help frogs thrive. And, aside from the deliberately cartoonish turtle, the illustrations by Liz Wong are gorgeous.

Hopefully this will turn any haters out there into frog fanciers.

I did not find this book to be really engaging. There is a turtle that gives facts and information about frogs but it is not really special.

Thank you to the author, Little Bigfoot Books and NetGalley, for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This children's book has one of the characters - a turtle - speak to the reader, sharing their complaints about frogs. Apparently, no one likes them, and the turtle's complaints are countered with interesting facts about frogs, highlighting positive attributes. The kids I read this with loved the froggy facts and illustrations, but found the voice and illustrations of the turtle awkward to strange - and I concur. Overall, an interesting experiment, but I wish the author had done a bit more of a well-rounded job with it.

This book uses a fun concept that I don’t see much in picture books: breaking the forth wall. A turtle is talking to the reader about why they, “like everyone else”, don’t like frogs. Alongside this, another voice, maybe the narrator, gives the reader facts about frogs that show how interesting they are! I think kids will enjoy the back and forth.

This is a cute book about a turtle that does not like (or really understand) frogs and why they are the way they are. I found the picture book to be cute, I think it would work well for story times, but some of the art was a little odd. Stylistically I understand that it is a turtle and narrator reading a book together, so you see the turtle flipping the pages, but it was odd. Maybe that was because I was reading it as a digital arc, not entirely certain, but I will still purchase this for the library.
