Frogs are the most important ingredient in a witch’s favorite 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 — and a winning recipe for readers who loved DRAGONS LOVE TACOS and ROOM ON THE BROOM.

A witch’s favorite treat is frog soup. Luckily, it’s healthy and easy to make. To give it that extra kick and a pop of color, 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 laugher 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. (From GoodReads.)
