Reviews
“Gilbert de la Frogponde is witty, creative, and downright hilarious. Even adults are bound to grin as the bamboozled chefs slurp down their last slugs and beg Gilbert for more recipes. The combination of a great story, rhyming text, and clever illustrations will make this culinary extravaganza a fast favorite among the kindergarten set.” ―Boston Herald
“The frolicking rhymes combined with the whimsical illustrations promise to make children and adults instant fans the lovable and witty Gilbert…A definite recommended read-a-loud picture book that will make bedtime an all-out laugh fest.” ―Boys to Books
