Jenna Fischer recalled the book from their time living in London and described it as a charming rhyming story where a cat explains to a frog that he can only sit on a log. She highlighted the playful use of British‑accent rhymes such as “newts sit on flutes” and noted how the humor appealed to both children and adults. The hosts responded positively, treating it as a highly recommended, cute children’s title.

It was about a cat explaining to a frog that the only thing he can sit on is a log because he's a frog. The cat explained that cats can sit on mats, frogs sit on logs. Some of the rhymes only worked if you read it in a British accent.
We got it in the UK when we lived in London, when I did that TV show there. No, I don't know it. Oh my gosh, it's the cutest book. It's called Oi Frog. And it's about a cat.
And the cat is explaining to a frog that the only thing he can sit on is a log because he's a frog. And he goes on, the cat explains, cats can sit on mats, frogs sit on logs. And it's a little rhyming book.
What's really cute about it, Angela, is that some of the rhymes only work if you read it in a British accent. Did you love it?
So it's like, newts sit on flutes, puffins sit on muffins, weasels sit on easels. But then it'll say like gorillas sit on pillars. Pillars with an R? Yeah, you know like a pillar for a building? Yeah. Gorillas sit on pillars. You have to say gorillas sit on pillars. Because then it rhymes. Right, gorillas sit on pillars. Yes.

The book is about a cat explaining to a frog that the only thing he can sit on is a log because he's a frog. The cat explains that cats can sit on mats, frogs sit on logs, and so on. The book has a lot of rhyming words that only work if you read it with a British accent.
It reminded me of that children's book, Oi Frog.
It's called Oi Frog and it's about a cat and the cat is explaining to a frog that the only thing he can sit on is a log because he's a frog.
And he goes on, the cat explains, cats can sit on mats, frogs sit on logs.
But what's really cute about it, Angela, is that some of the rhymes only work if you read it in a British accent.
