Illustrated by Nikki Smith

Whenever I hear the song Five Little Speckled Frogs I immediately go back to when I was a kid and my Daddy would play it on his guitar and I would sing along.
When I saw that Nikki had illustrated the song in a book, my hand shot up and hollered ME, ME, . I would love to review it! Yes I have some personal attachment to the song

Nikki took a simple kids song and created a splashing good time! Her illustrations are simple, yet fun.
The frogs on the page pop out at you as in a collage scene, I loved their long pink tongues when they were catching bugs, The only thing I wish was that Nikki would have made a different drawing each time a frog jumped into the pool where it was nice and cool ! rather than reusing the same one each time.
I think it would have been more creative to add them jumping in differently,

I just love sitting and singing the song with my little ones and showing them the book as I showcase this great song for a new generation!

Nikki graciously sent me a copy of this book to review.
