Luckily, it\u2019s healthy and easy to make. To give it that extra kick and a pop of color, the key ingredient is a spoonful of frogs. But how do you keep the frogs on the spoon? They hop, they leap, they hide&#8230; and they escape. What is a poor witch to do?<\/p>\n<p>Casey Lyall is a master of comedic timing with her deceptively simple and energetic text, and Caldecott Honor winner Vera Brosgol\u2019s vibrant, hilarious illustrations make the witch (and the frogs!) practically leap off the page.
