"Vivid autumn foliage is generally considered to be a thing of beauty, but those unfamiliar colors spell danger to a young frog. Yolen doesn't rush Little Frog's emotional turnaround. Shi's inviting mixed-media landscapes make it clear that the amphibian is never in danger . . . reasoned reactions to her own nervousness hint at ways readers might tackle their own fears." --Publisher's Weekly

"Rich colors underscore the intensity of Little Frog's feelings, as the sunlit greens of reeds and lily pads give way to showers of leaves that, in the shadowed woods, glow with autumn reds and golds . . . a low-key way of introducing the idea of change, in nature or otherwise." --Kirkus Reviews
