The Most Curious Girl In Her Class: The Adventures of Hecky and Shmecky

In this children’s picture book for ages 4-7, what happens in FrogBog Forest doesn’t always stay in FrogBog Forest. An incurably curious secondgrader and her little brother, despite admonitions from teacher and parent, venture into a strange, yet beautiful forest. What is at first enchanting and fun, becomes a heart-thumping adventure to find their way back home. Desperate help comes in the form of Dennis, a frog like no other in the world. Along the way, the children learn a heart-felt lesson in returning the kindness of strangers. REVIEWS: KIRKUS REVIEWS - A cute, well-told story in a series with potential. JUDITH NASSE - The lovely line drawings with washes of color by artist Esteban Erlich both complement and add to the text by author Herman Huber. The Most Curious Girl in Her Class makes a great early reader for 7-9 year olds, yet can be enjoyed from preschool years when parents and teachers read it aloud to their young listeners who are also learning new words, just like Dennis Hopster. The book can be used as well in a nature lesson with children spotting, naming, and categorizing the creatures in FrogBog Forest. Readers will look forward to the next adventures of Hecky and Shmecky. ROBERT QUACKENBUSH - It is an instant classic. Congratulations to the author and illustrator!
