Bug Belly: Babysitting Trouble
Paul Morton
Age range 5 to 9
It’s Bug Belly’s turn to babysit!
The taddies and froglets in Top Pond can’t wait to try out their uncle’s cool water slides, death-defying dragonfly drops, and fancy frogball games.
But when Bug Belly’s tummy goes URGLE-GURGLE GLUMP! everyone knows it spells one thing – TROUBLE.
As Bug Belly launches himself off the slide in pursuit of scrumptious worm snack, he accidentally knocks loose all the rocks that are damming up Top Pond…
Suddenly, he’s in a race against time to get the taddies to safety before they get stuck in the mud. Will his penchant for yummy snacks lead him and the taddies astray, straight into the hungry jaws of Old Pike, Heron or Sneaky Snake?
Luckily, nobody in Top Pond has more ingenious plans than this Top Frog…

It was very, very funny! My favourite characters are Old Snapper and Bug Belly. I definitely recommend it! I loved it so much, I want it again!

I would not recommend it for over the age of 4 or 5.

My favourite part was when Bug Belly was imagining he was a super hero and went down a reed slide but crashed into a post instead of flying.

I liked the story because it was about a silly frog having clever ideas. It is the story of a frog baby sitting tadpoles, when a bird comes and almost eats them up. But the frog came up with a disguise and scared the crow away and saved the taddies by pushing them into a hole.

I liked the end of the story because the snake got duck poo all over his head. The Old snapper wanted to eat all the frogs and tadpoles. I laughed a lot at the end. I couldn’t stop reading it. It was really good story.

He likes eating froglets but he helped them to build stuff to escape from the bad guys who eat froglets. I liked when he made instructions to 1, 2, 3.

It’s fiction and I would love to recommended it to someone else.
