Review by School Library Journal Review
PreS-Gr 1Froggy wakes from hibernation in the middle of the winter. Despite his mother's urgings to go back to sleep, he is determined to go out and play. He puts on different articles of clothing, each with its own fun sound effect. Each time he ventures out, his mother reminds him that he has forgotten something, prompting him to go back inside, undress, and start again. He becomes so exhausted that he decides it is easier to just stay asleep. This story is just as hilarious in Spanish as it is in English. Storytellers will enjoy making sounds that will encourage young listeners to participate in the telling. The cartoonlike illustrations and funny facial expressions make this a wonderful read-aloud.Diane Tureski, New York Public Library (c) Copyright 2010.

Review by Horn Book Review
This Spanish edition of the humorously told and illustrated 'Froggy Gets Dressed' contains a fine translation that captures the rhythm and energy of the original English version in which young Froggy makes repeated attempts to get dressed so he can romp in the snow.
