Twenty-Five Guests and a Frog Named Farley is a children's book written by Glenn Brucker. In this book, there are many different animals, birds, other creatures, and even plants that have different tricks and talents. They use their talents to help others and create a community. This book shows what can happen when friends work together to get a job done. There is always something different on each page. Each character is unique in their own way.

I truly enjoyed this book. It was a unique and adorable story. I loved this book for all of the reasons I mentioned above. All of the characters work together to get something done. It creates a sense of community and friendship. On every page, there was a different character, and it described what their talents were. Even though all of the characters are different and can do different things, they still create a family. After all, a bunch of friends can still make a family. My favorite characters were Farley the Frog and Didi the Dandelion. There are many other fun and adorable characters as well, and I promise you won't be disappointed with them.

In my opinion, there really wasn't anything wrong with this book. There is always a level of excitement, something new on each page, and it was just an wonderful story. Who wouldn't want their kids learning how to work as a community and to embrace their talents. You really can't help but love each and every character. Every parent will inspire their kids to do good things by reading this book to them.

Twenty-Five Guests and a Frog Named Farley is the perfect book to read to your children. This book promotes self-esteem and teaches kids to help others in their time of need. Each of these amazing characters teach kids how to be selfless, and most importantly, to have fun. I would highly suggest you buy this book for your kids. It would make a good present for any child, and even the parents would enjoy this story as well. The characters show great morals that should be passed on to every child.

I give Twenty-Five Guests and a Frog Named Farley by Glenn Brucker 4 out of 4 stars. I gave this book 4 stars because it is such an uplifting and inspiring story that would make anybody happy. I think this book will be the one that children beg their parents to read to them every night.

I should check this out for my daughter. She's only one but she loves books! It was one of her first words. Is this a good book for toddlers?

That is so sweet, and kudos to you for introducting her to books at such a young age. 'Book' was one of my first words, too!

Rachaelamb1, this is the perfect book to read to your toddler. Your little girl will love this story while she is young, and I think it will be one of those stories that she remembers with fondness as she grows older. Thank you for commenting on my review, and I appreciate everyone who has read and liked my review.

You are very welcome, and I absolutely agree with you. I have loved reading since a very young age, and I would definitely encourage reading to my children in the future. Whenever I decide to have kids. This is definitely the type of book I would read to them. I think you will love it.
