The Barnes & Noble Review
Continuing the adventures in A Boy, a Dog, and a Frog, Mercer and Marianna Mayer bring back this wordless classic about an outdoors romp between a boy and his pals. In winsome black-and-white pictures that challenge readers to come up with their own text, a boy with his dog and frog friends travel to the pond for some fishing. But when a turtle grabs hold of their fishing line and starts a commotion, they set out to catch him -- until he winds up floating lifelessly on the water. Thankfully, though, it's only temporary: After the three have dug a hole to bury him in, the turtle springs up with gratitude for his friends' generosity, fishing pole in his mouth and happy as a clam. A lively follow-up that's perfect for young readers to sink their imaginations into. Matt Warner
