Reviews
"A lively look at self-acceptance." -- Kirkus Reviews * "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 REVIEW "This amusing story ends with a laugh and a much more content frog." -- School Library Journal "Silliness and deadpan humor combine into a hopping good story of being happy with who you are." -- Booklist "A paean to self-acceptance wrapped in snappy dialogue and illustrated with richly colored comic paintings." -- Wall Street Journal "Petty and Boldt provide just enough predictability to hook youngest readers, then deliver a delightful twist or two to create surprise and satisfaction--for both the green hero and the many fans he'll make with this book." -- Shelf Awareness "This lighthearted exploration of identity will delight as a readaloud." -- The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, "A lively look at self-acceptance." -- Kirkus Reviews "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...
