This story is about Froggy's marching band and lead the one and only Frogilina. When Froggy saw a sign that there is a big contest throughout school, the challenge and excitement came to him right away, and of course the "prize".
The next day all his friends in the band start to practice in their yard and here comes Frogilina who wants to join the group and lead the band and be a majorette. But there are rules in the band "don't look right, don't look left and don't stop for anything".
This book is fun for children, because every child can join the group and they can play and listen to different instruments, but they need to follow the instructions.
The illustrator used color pencil and a water color, illustrations have a big letter that excite the children to follow whoever will read it to them.
To set the provocations, have a set of different instruments for them to listen and play.
