INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Cutler, May Ebbitt

Leap, Frog

(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Tracey Campbell Pearson. Brothers Edward and Jason Fraser (No Dogs Allowed and 'Gator Aid) get a new next-door neighbor. Charley, a frenetic first grader, nearly overwhelms the episodic plot, but there's still plenty to enjoy, including humorous dialogue and eccentric secondary characters. Edward's enthusiasm for art and drama make this a good choice for growing fans of dePaola's Fairmount Avenue books.
