In This Book is on Fire! author Ron Keres writes an imaginative story of Finn the Frog. Finn the Frog greets the reader and quickly learns the reader is very hungry. He then proclaims himself to be a fantastic chef who will whip up something delicious. He soon discovers this will be trickier than he expected. Finn the Frog knows how to cook many fancy dishes that have been passed down to him from his frog family. Unfortunately, the reader turns out to be quite a picky eater who turns up his nose at multiple choices, and the whole day just may end in disaster.

This story by Ron Keres is both cute and entertaining. Younger kids will find this book to be engaging since Finn the Frog is talking directly to them and they can interact throughout the story. Adults will enjoy reading the story to their children and watching as this helps develop a love of reading in the listener. The title alone, This Book is on Fire!, will certainly grab the attention of any child. The illustrations are well done and as humorous as the story itself. Children will laugh at Finn the Frog not having pants on when he turns around, the idea of meat being soaked in pond water, and Finn serving them dessert with flies on it. This book also comes with free downloadable coloring sheets, which both kids and their parents will love and would be a good reason to choose this book over a similar option.
