This book was so entertaining to read. This is the first book I have read of Len Foley's. I'm going to have to look out for his other books!

Toilet humour isn't really my thing, but Foley's books are always fun and I could definitely see myself enjoying this one.

I don't read a lot of children's books these days so it's nice to see what's popular or good nowadays. This sounds cute and funny, though I do have a mild fear of finding animals in toilets so I would have to get over that :D

As a K-6 literacy specialist, I look forward to reading this book to see if it might be something I can share with my reluctant readers. It sounds like something fun that will keep their attention plus I can also use it as a lesson to use illustrations to help further understand a story while reading. Thanks for sharing. :D

Foley's books always seem fun and entertaining. I once read his book titled Smelly socks and it was lyrical as well as entertaining. I have no doubt believing this book is equally or even better. Great review.

A fun book about a frog who decided to swim in the toilet. That sounds weird, but I look forward to reading the moral lesson in the story.

Len Foley's books are always a treat for the child in me. The humorous and absurd illustrations makes these books truly unique in its approach to entertaining children. Just like other Len Foley's books, this one too sounds like a good read-along book for parents and kids. Thank you for the detailed review.

I also hate the idea of tiny animals drowning in the toilet. Hope the frog was saved. However, the lesson would be a very effectively portrayed.

Reading the beginning of the review, it made me think which genre this book belonged to. I thought it seemed too heavy to be a children's book. Then I spotted the reviewer's statement that this is indeed a children's book.
