Five stories about Frog and Toad, in which Toad makes a list of things to do and can’t do anything that is not on his list, Frog has a garden and Toad wants one also, Toad makes cookies and he and Frog must stop eating them using will power, Frog and Toad decide to see how brave they are and Toad has a very disturbing dream.
These stories are absolutely hilarious! Toad is the sort who likes everything to go just the right way and doesn’t like to wait either. Frog is quiet and willing to try things again. I think my favorite story in this book is the one about the cookies. And of course there’s Toad’s ever-present phrase: “Blah.” I highly recommend this book for younger readers.

Although Mr. Popper paints houses, he can’t help but wish he had done some exploring before he married Mrs. Popper. He spends all his spare time reading about famous explorations, and especially about the Poles. One day, in response to a fan letter, Admiral Drake sends Mr. Popper a present: a penguin whom they name Captain Cook. Soon, though, Captain Cook seems lonely, so another penguin arrives: Greta. Soon they have a total of twelve penguins to look after, and Mr. Popper doesn’t have enough money to support them all. The solution to this problem? Popper’s Performing Penguins!
This is a very fun book. Learning how to accommodate twelve penguins in an ordinary household is very hilarious, and I can’t help but chuckle whenever I read about the penguins’ escapades in the theaters.

Toot and Puddle are two pigs who live at Woodcock Pocket. One day, Toot, who really likes to travel, goes on a trip to the Wildest Borneo and Puddle receives postcards from him.
A funny, well-illustrated book. There are several other Toot and Puddle books, and the first of the series is Toot and Puddle.

Jack and his aunt’s butler Praiseworthy are stowaways on a ship headed for gold territory. They try to be honest stowaways and present themselves to the captain, who puts them to work tending the steam boiler. Captain Swain is not happy, as he is in a race with another steam ship, with heavy bets on both sides. And once they reach gold country, what will Praiseworthy do when he accidentally acquires a reputation as a fighter, and is challenged by The Mountain Ox, the roughest, toughest gold miner in California?
Sid Fleischman writes a good yarn, while making parts of it believable. Just about every page has some joke to it. Praiseworthy is a great mastermind, and Jack is always willing to go along. The ending may surprise you. There’s an interesting plot twist in there.
