Frogs are the most important ingredient in a witch’s favorite treat — but they are also the hardest to get into the cauldron!

From acclaimed author Casey Lyall and Caldecott Honor artist Vera Brosgol, A Spoonful of Frogs is a humorous and wholly original picture book!

A witch’s favorite treat is frog soup. Luckily, it’s healthy and easy to make. To give it that extra kick and a pop of color, the key ingredient is a spoonful of frogs. But how do you keep the frogs on the spoon? They hop, they leap, they hide... and they escape. What is a poor witch to do?

Casey Lyall is a master of comedic timing with her deceptively simple and energetic text, and Caldecott Honor winner Vera Brosgol’s vibrant, hilarious illustrations make the witch — and the frogs! — practically leap off the page. The solution to the witch’s dilemma will surprise and delight young readers and their parents alike.

Teeming with laugher and hijinks, A Spoonful of Frogs is pure fun from beginning to end. A must-have for young readers, parents, witches, frog-lovers, and aspiring chefs.

Hannah ★★★★★

The signed bookplate was such a nice surprise, my niece flipped when she saw it tucked inside the cover. The story itself is hilarious — that whole chaotic chase to get frogs in the cauldron had us both laughing.

Owen O. ★★★★★

This arrived quicker than I expected, and the bookplate signature is crisp and clean on the inside cover. My kid giggled through the whole frog-catching chaos, and the hardcover feels sturdy enough for repeat bedtime readings.

Scarlett H. ★★★★★

The signed bookplate is a lovely touch, and the story itself has my kids howling every time the frogs escape the cauldron. We’ve read it three nights in a row and the illustrations still crack us up.
