Kids Book Review: Oi Dog
This is a series that is a must have for toddlers and early readers.
The words are fairly easy to read, the rhyming gives it a good flow and the repetition of the words will help your little reader remember them as they continue reading the story.
“Not only are the illustrations bright and funny, but it gave us a lot of giggles on the silliness of the story. Oi Frog and Oi Cat are already firm favourites in our household and we are looking forward to expanding our collection with the other titles in the series.
Frog is not happy with the rules stating that Frogs sit on logs and Dogs sit on Frogs! He is switching it up! Frog is going to have to figure out what he is going to sit on if Dogs now sit on Logs… a favourite was Cheetahs sit on Fajitas… the picture was super cute and the expressions on the animals just keep the giggles going!”
