The hit book about a willful young frog with a serious identity crisis and his heard-it-all-before father is now available in paperback. Perfect for fans of Mo Willems\u2019s Don\u2019t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! and Jon Klassen\u2019s I\u00a0Want My Hat Back!<\/p>\n

Frog wants to be anything but a slimy, wet frog. A cat, perhaps. Or a rabbit. An owl? But when a hungry wolf arrives\u2014a wolf who HATES eating frogs\u2014our hero decides that being himself isn\u2019t 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\u2019s desire to be something different, while laughing along at his stubborn yet endearing schemes to prove himself right.<\/p>\n

And look for the hilarious sequels\u2014I Don’t Want to Be Big,\u00a0There’s Nothing to Do!,\u00a0and I Don’t Want to Go to Sleep.<\/p>\n

\u2605\u00a0“First-time author Petty\u2019s dialogue between a frog father and his son makes its point about accepting one\u2019s nature with a big grin. . . . The story might create similar gratitude in the minds of readers\u2014or it might just make them giggle.”\u2014Publishers Weekly,\u00a0STARRED REVIEW<\/p>\n

“A paean to self-acceptance wrapped in snappy dialogue and illustrated with richly colored comic paintings.”\u2014Wall Street Journal<\/p>\n

“Petty and Boldt provide just enough predictability to hook youngest readers, then deliver a delightful twist or two to create surprise and satisfaction\u2014for both the green hero and the many fans he’ll make with this book.”\u2014Shelf Awareness<\/p>\n

“This lighthearted exploration of identity will delight as a readaloud.”\u2014The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books<\/p>\n
