THE CROAKY POKEY!
Reproducible drawing and music match activity sheet.★★★THE REVIEWS ARE IN!★★★
“As implied by the title, the [traditional song] takes on a decidedly amphibian tone in this sprightly, cheerful selection, which is filled to the brim with kid appeal. . . . Children will giggle throughout, especially at the surprise ending, and will be singing and dancing along in seconds flat. A nice choice for school and home and a good choice for reluctant readers, full of energy, humor and fun.”
—Kirkus Reviews
“A nifty little comedy about best-laid plans. . . . Long has a gift for conveying manic, obsessive personalities (he’s a master of the googly eye), and he has found a great match in a song of relentless, rote cheeriness.”
—Publishers Weekly
“Long’s energetic illustrations are done in watercolor and colored pencil, and their cartoonish style adds to the fun.”
—School Library Journal
