Publisher's Note
Illustrated in full color. What's so strange about the three green frogs swimming in a bog? They're wearing pink and orange clogs! What's so silly about the three pink pigs eating purple figs? They're wearing colored wigs! In this phonetic, rhyming, whimsical, and surprising book, anything can happen, as long as it's totally absurd! With bright, bold, Matisse-like collage illustrations, this fun read-aloud takes rhyme and wordplay to new heights of hilarity.

Industry Reviews
With its quick rhymes and deft repetitions, this rambunctious romp has at least a dash of Ogden Nash-ery. Matters begin tamely enough, as three ``frogs'' are introduced on the copyright page and, on the next spread, jump into a ``bog.'' Then one of the ``Boggy frogs. Soggy frogs'' opens his backpack to produce the eponymous footwear: ``Frogs in clogs!'' In similar fashion, a pig trio invades a fig tree and dons hairpieces; then ``pigs in wigs jig into the bog,'' where ``Frogs joggle pigs! Pigs jiggle frogs!'' Into the melee sail ``bugs on rugs,'' and soon ``Bugs lug pigs to rugs in fog!'' This fond foolery plays out against Samton's (Oh No! A Naptime Adventure) distinctive collages of rice paper, zestily colored with acrylics. Here snaggle-toothed bugs, in flight helmets and aviator goggles, airlift porkers as distressed frogs stand helplessly by. If the main attraction is the linguistic merriment, the zany art runs a close second. Ages 2-6. (Apr.)
Bernstein

Pres-Gr 1 Exuberant language and cavorting creatures frogs in clogs and fig-eating pigs in wigs rhyme and jump across bright white space. The pigs and frogs share friendship and exchange apparel until joined by a swarm of goggle-wearing bugs (menacing and cartoonlike) who want everything. An altercation and mayhem ensue. The bugs are bested and sent packing, tied together on flying carpets. The sometimes chortling expressions and occasionally lilting text provide humor, but not enough to save this picture book from mediocrity. The cut-paper collage figures, although sprightly, are somewhat unrefined. Stick with Robert Kalan's Jump Frog Jump (Morrow, 1989), the classic Piggy in the Puddle (Macmillan, 1974) by Charlotte Pomerantz, and David McPhail's Pigs Aplenty, Pigs Galore! (Dutton, 1993).
