They retrieve his underpants, but the other frogs are sad, so teddy makes all of the frogs underpants. ( )

Answers the eternal question of whether frogs wear boxers, briefs, or both. ( )

I had mixed emotions about this story. First, I was not fond of the illustrations. They seemed old, and I was not fond of the illustrator’s choice of design. The second reason I did not really care for the book is because of the characters. One of the main characters in the story is a teddy bear, and the story takes place in a jungle. I found it odd to have a teddy bear walking around with wild animals. It just didn’t make sense to me. On the other hand, I liked the plot of the story. I think readers would find it funny that a frog lost its underpants. It is a silly topic that would keep readers engaged throughout the story. The central message is for people to help each other when it’s needed. ( )
