In Froggy’s Sleepover by Jonathan London, Froggy is sleeping at his friend Max's house on a Friday because there's no school the next day. I love the idea of chocolate fly cookies! Packing for the sleepover is part of the fun. Fun onomatopoeia represent sounds as Froggy packs: slam! sloof! poof! pum! Froggy's "huggy" is a person toy!
Froggy discovers that his friend is a challenge. He calls Froggy a baby for brushing his teeth. He scares Froggy with ghost stories. Froggy wants to go home where he'll feel safe. Froggy's mother tries to help the friends have a fun night by making popcorn. Froggy seems not to want to admit he was afraid at Max's house. He says he's hungry instead.The kids are having fun but keeping the parents awake.
When the parents fall asleep, it’s Max who wants to go home. Back and forth they go, each missing the comfort of their own home. By the time they fall asleep, it is Saturday morning.
