Once again, a teeming multitude of primitive yet curiously expressive frogs are scattered on a stark white background to very pleasing effect.""- <i>New York Times Book Review</i>--Pamela Paul "New York Times Book Review "<br><br>"Murakami s impish, toy-bright illustrations look almost as if a talented 4-year-old might have painted them. In contrast to Hello Kitty-style Japanese Neo-Pop, they have a distinctly, even stubbornly, handmade feel. Besides setting the stage for outlandish fun, the message they convey is unmistakable: Nothing in these pages is not for children. The result is an uncommon picture book designed not only to entertain young people but also to give them their due." The New York Times Book Review"<br><br>"Murakami's big-eyed, kelly-green amphibians, set against large white backdrops, are just as cute now as they were as newborns, and their heedless groupthink as they race around being gee-whiz about everything remains downright adorable."- #160;"Booklist"--Daniel Kraus"Booklist" (03/01/2013)<br><br>"To speak of an insanely gorgeous book about frogs would seem to pose a contradiction in terms...yet here they [it] is: the strong point of this book is its eye-popping design.
