Croak! Squeenk! Ribbet! After a close encounter with a mutant amphibian makes him freaky for frogs, water-shy Stink becomes a swimming success.

Stink may be super smart, and Stink may be uber clever, but he's been in the Polliwog swim class frog-ever and he still can't bear to put his face in the water. Why would he want a geyser up his nose, on purpose ? But then something weird happens: Stink starts to see frogs everywhere -- in the locker room, in his boot, in the bathtub. And when a freaky blue frog licks his arm, his froggy senses start tingling! He has an urge to slurp up raisins (that look like flies). He can't wait to play in the rain and mud. He's a wiz at identifying frog calls. And he has become very interested in the local frog population. Could it be that Stink is turning into . . . the amazing Stink-Frog, fighter of slime? Pree-eep! Craw-awk!

Gr 2-4-Stink is in the Pollywog swim class. Naturally, Judy is a shark. Stink just can't put his head under water. He doesn't trust the stuff. However, his obsession with frogs may change all that. Stink is soon involved in learning frog songs, doing a frog count, and finding frogs pretty much everywhere he turns. There are even frogs with deformities-mutant frogs due to environmental issues. When a strange blue frog licks him, his froggy senses begin tingling. Is he turning into a frog himself? This is another light-hearted Stink adventure, stuffed full of information about east coast frogs, and filled with Stink's imaginary adventures as well as his real ones. Barbara Rosenblat reads the latest title (Candlewick, 2013) in McDonald's series with great enthusiasm, creating voices for each character. This is a fun presentation that will please fans of the series.-Teresa Bateman, Brigadoon Elementary, Federal Way, WA (c) Copyright 2013.
