Kirkus says:
"An early reader for the earliest of readers. Trasler's cartoon illustrations heighten the humor of her spare text, which has ample rhymes and assonance to support new decoders... Reader, meet Frogs and Dog-you won't be sorry."
Booklist says:
"Many elements combine to make this engaging for early readers: rhyming text, repetition, relatable themes of friendship and resourcefulness, and full-color illustrations filled with humorous details."
School Library Journal says:
"This accessible chapter book, styled in three short stories, will be of interest to most young readers. The text utilizes humor, repetition, and rhyming to build fluency. Trasler's cartoon-like illustrations are bright and expressive. VERDICT This early reader would be an appropriate selection for any new reader who delights in unlikely friendship stories and depictions of physical comedy."
Frogs and Dog say:
"Ribbit, ribbit, ribbit, WOOF!*"
Which loosely translates to:
"We're so HOPPY to see you!"
