Green Wilma, Frog in Space
by Tedd Arnold
3-Year-Old: Thumbs Up
Mom: Mixed
Summary: Green Wilma, a happy frog who is chasing a fly for breakfast, is mistaken for an alien child and is brought onto a spaceship. Green Wilma continues to chase the fly and in doing so hits some controls so that the ship returns to Earth. At this point, the alien mom and dad realize that Green Wilma is not their alien child, Blooger, and switches the two back at the pond.
Review: I am not a huge fan of rhyming stories, especially when the language seems forced in order to complete the rhymes. Also, I don't think my son really understood the storyline. I had to explain to him what was happening.
That said, my son really likes the book. When he sees this book on our coffee table with other books, he picks this one for us to read. I think he enjoys the colorful art and fun language, like when the spaceship goes into "boogie-woogie drive."
