This is the most hilarious picturebook I've read in a really long time, and I laughed so much as I read it! I wish it had been out when my kids were younger - as it is, I really recommend it to parents of young kids, because it's the kind of book I genuinely wouldn't have minded reading over and over (AND OVER) again - it's just so clever and so funny!

Cute book that could be used for Halloween, but does not mention Halloween. This would be a cute addition to a spooky storytime or a cooking storytime.

Super cute!!!

This will be an adorable book to read when Halloween comes around. Perfect for a storytime if you don’t mind doing voices!

What do you do when your recipe calls for an ingredient that refuses to cooperate? A Spoonful of Frogs is an entertaining response to that question. Such a fun read!! Kids will giggle as they read this hilarious picture book (and so will the adults!). If humor is your jam (and it IS mine), you don't want to miss this one. The art is the perfect addition to the words, bringing the text alive. And I love that the cover jacket hides a surprise. I highly highly recommend this one.

This book is very funny to me. A witch, who apparently hosts her own cooking show, is instructing viewers how to make frog soup. Once she gets to the frogs... Things sort of don't go to plan. The repetition of her struggling to get the frogs in the pot is simple, hilarious genius. I can't wait to read this one for storytime this October. The kids are going to love it!

Loved this wickedly hilarious picture book about an epic battle between a witch trying to make frog soup and the frogs who refuse to get in it. We laughed harder and harder as she tried more outlandish strategies to catch them. Will definitely be reading this again for Halloween and hope we see more from this wonderful author and illustrator collaboration! Highly recommend!!

ARCQuest: Book 3 A super funny read with wonderful illustrations. I will definitely be adding this to my picture book collection when it releases. Also where can I catch the rest of our witchy host’s cooking show?? (That’s code for: WE NEED A SEQUEL!)
Miriam –
the story line and the illustrations are a perfect complement! a friendly-looking witch is attempting to capture the main ingredient of her frog soup. the author uses lots of colorful verbs to describe the action and the illustrations are a perfect accompaniment.
Brian –
Put. The frogs. On. The spoon! This comical take on a cooking show gone awry will have children laughing along the way. I can’t wait to read this with my students, and use it as a humorous companion to the procedural writing they do in class.
Jessica –
Funny and original, but the joke ran a little too long for me.
Miranda –
Highly recommended by two of my friends! This was so super cute and the illustrations are beautiful (also the witch is snatched ngl)
Raven Andrus –
I love this witch's determination. I love this witch's determination.

Hilarious. Fun read-aloud for fans of cooking shows. If Julia Child was a witch and one of her ingredients was out of control.
Cecilia Rodriguez –
While filming an episode for a cooking show , a witch(the hostess) of the program has trouble with one of her ingredients. Vera Brosgol’s color illustrations add to the humor of the story.

So simple but a hopping good story!

Needed more frogs. Like two spoonfuls.

Instead of Schitt's Creek's "fold in the cheese" you simply "put the frogs on the spoon" :) Super cute; love the art! Instead of Schitt's Creek's "fold in the cheese" you simply "put the frogs on the spoon" :) Super cute; love the art!
