About this item

* "First-time author Petty's dialogue between a frog father and his son makes its point about accepting one's nature with a big grin....The story might create similar gratitude in the minds of readers - or it might just make them giggle." - Publishers Weekly, STARRED REVIEWFans of Mo Willems's Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! and Jon Klassen's I Want My Hat Back will love meeting this willful young frog with a serious identity crisis. Frog wants to be anything but a slimy, wet frog. A cat, perhaps. Or a rabbit. An owl? But when a hungry wolf arrives - a wolf who HATES eating frogs - our hero decides that maybe being himself isn't so bad after all. In this very silly story with a sly message, told in hilarious dialogue between a feisty young frog and his heard-it-all-before father, young readers will identify with little Frog's desire to be something different, while laughing along at his stubborn yet endearing schemes to prove himself right.
