The Ring Went Zing by Sean Taylor, illustrated by Jill Barton

2010/40pgs.

About the Book: A frog and a chicken are in love. So to express his love, the frog buys the chicken a ring. But the ring went zing and soon the animals are off on an adventure to capture the ring.

Sarah Teenlibrarian Says: I'll admit it. I'll pulled this one off the new shelf because it said "A story that ends with a kiss" and I'm a sucker for romance and happy endings.

This is a fun rhyming tale. The animals chase off after the ring and continually find another obstacle to capturing the ring. In each instance, a new animal joins in on the chase and the animals all pile up onto the new mode of transportation. It's a humorous story and it does end in a kiss. But it's not for one who likes typical animal romances. I mean, a chicken and a frog romance story? It's a silly book that's for sure. Kids who like funny rhyming stories that build a new element on top of the last will get a kick of this tale.
