I freely admit this is a DNF at 50%. I just can’t take it anymore. Fantastic frog and amazing Ted Lad are experiments who have been given super strength and the ability to fly but share a brain between the two of them. I don’t like how the book is constantly using putdowns like dumb and stupid. And while I get that this is for kids, it feels like a grown-up talking down to kids instead of actually getting down on kids levels. It’s also overly long. I do think they should have kept this shorter than 200 pages instead of having two or three stories with an intermission, it should have stopped after they finished the first mission. Because after the first mission, I could not go on anymore. I wanted to like this and somebody will. I just don’t know who that is right now.

This book started out slow, and I didn't see the comparison to Dogman or Investigators. However, the potty humor and clever jokes began around chapter 2, and I really think that little boys especially ages 6-9 will enjoy this series. I chuckled a bit at the jokes that their scratch and sniff feature didn't work, and liked that the print was larger and allowed for a quick read for reluctant readers. I recommend this for public libraries and for any kids who like gross humor.

I really enjoyed the beginning, but it became incredibly yucky 3/4 of the way in unfortunately.

What an incredible start to a new middle grade graphic novel series. Definitely in line with series like Dog Man and InvestiGators with a little bit of crude humour. But who doesn't love a good fart or poop joke now and again? This is certainly something we'll want in our collection and I'm looking forward to the silly antics these two amphibians will get up to next!

Oh this was great. I have a Dog Man fan and we enjoyed reading this together! Looking forward to more Fantastic Frog and Amazing Tad books!
