From the award-winning Kes Gray and the winner of the Roald Dahl Funny Prize, Jim Field, comes an hilarious counting picture book about our four-legged – and two-legged and eight-legged – friends!
How many legs would there be if a polar bear came for tea? How high would the leg count go if a squid rode in on a buffalo? As more and more animals join in the fun, count along if you can!
Praise for Oi, Frog! also by Kes Gray and Jim Field: ‘An absolute treat.’ – Daily Mail

A chaotically funny counting rhyme with a difference.
You get so distracted by the laugh-out-loud and quirky illustrations that you forget about counting
Another hilarious picture book that has just about everything you could want: great rhymes, Field's uniquely playful illustrations and counting to boot. Charming and original
Picture book perfection
Each spread is a riot of colour and movement, with small details to be discovered on each re-reading. Children will revel in the anarchy created by the animal guests; this is a joyful story of fun and friendship, with an absorbing built-in mathematical challenge
With wonderfully wacky guests splendidly attired, and scenes full of delightfully exuberant eccentricities, this...is a cracker
Another hilarious page-turning book sure to have both adults and children in stitches
