The cleverness, creativity, and passion Swogg shows for his friends will hopefully delight, amaze, and inspire you and your children.

Read an excerpt:

One night, Swogg was very tired
but he could not get to sleep...
...because -- the Bubbly
Bog was TOOOO LOUD!
Swogg thought and thought.
What shall I do?

**My thoughts**

The illustrations are by far my favorite part of this book. They are so vibrant and eye-catching that they draw you into the book. I felt like I was getting to know the character of Swogg the Silly Frog just by looking at those pictures, even without having read the story yet.

The story itself is super short and Swogg's sleeping problem is very quickly resolved. Kids who are having trouble falling asleep may want to pretend to be like Swogg. At the very least, it's a fun book to read at bedtime. I'll be curious to find out what other kinds of adventures are in store for Swogg.

Thank you to the author and Goddess Fish for a requested review copy. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Mark Cooley, or Grump C, had a vivid dream that compelled him to write his first story, Goodnight Swogg the Silly Frog, for his three grandchildren, Hadley, Tommy and Ella.

Caring and sharing are truly wonderful traits Grandpa Carl, Grump C and Silly Swogg all consider of utmost importance. The profits from this effort will go to CORAL – Coral Reef Alliance and WWF World Wildlife Foundation.

We sincerely hope that Swogg the Silly Frog and his ten friends can inspire and amuse children across the world.
