About the Book: After Charlie the frog accidentally breaks his mother’s vase, he runs away from home. Charlie and his new best friends Leo and Joe, live in a little orange tent outside Mrs. Cupcake’s bakery. A homesick Charlie, Leo and Joe, journey far away to find Charlie’s mother.
My Review: This is a cute story for young children. I really enjoyed the bright, vivid illustrations. The characters are based on stuffed animals, so they look plush, like animals a young child would love to cuddle with. The story shows three friends without a home, that work together to find one. It would be a great book to teach children about friendship.
I wasn't real fond of the story line though. It seemed to skip parts in some places, but overall it tells a story that children can relate to: helping a friend. The jist of the story is a good one, but I would read a page and then when I got to the next page, I was wondering how I got there because at times it didn't make sense. I think that may be due to me reading with an adult eye. Through the eyes and mind of a young child it probably wouldn't be that was as it's written in a way that they think and talk.
Children will fall in love with the characters, be enthralled with the bright colors, and relate to the friendship of the characters.
