A Spoonful of Frogs

Perfect for readers who love Dragons Love Tacos and Room on the Broom and now available as a lower-priced hardcover edition!

Frogs are the most important ingredient in a witch’s favourite treat—but they are also the hardest to get into the cauldron! From acclaimed author Casey Lyall and Caldecott Honor artist Vera Brosgol, A Spoonful of Frogs is a humorous and wholly original picture book that The Horn Book called “a chef’s-kiss of comic timing” in a starred review.

A witch’s favourite treat is frog soup. Luckily, it’s healthy and easy to make. To give it that extra kick and a pop of colour, the key ingredient is a spoonful of frogs. But how do you keep the frogs on the spoon? They hop, they leap, they hide... and they escape. What is a poor witch to do?

Casey Lyall is a master of comedic timing with her deceptively simple and energetic text, and Caldecott Honor winner Vera Brosgol’s vibrant, hilarious illustrations make the witch—and the frogs!—practically leap off the page. The solution to the witch’s dilemma will surprise and delight young readers and their parents alike.

Teeming with laughter and hijinks, A Spoonful of Frogs is pure fun from beginning to end. A must-have for young readers, parents, witches, frog lovers, and aspiring chefs.
