I Don't Want to Be a Frog

A very determined little frog decides he’d rather be anyone—or anything—but himself.

Frog doesn’t want to be a slimy, wet frog. He’d much rather be a cat. Or a rabbit. Maybe an owl. But when a hungry wolf arrives—a wolf who HATES eating frogs—Frog suddenly discovers that being himself might not be so bad after all.

With its fast-paced banter between a feisty young frog and his heard-it-all-before father, this laugh-out-loud story captures a familiar childhood impulse: wanting to be anything other than who you are. Young readers will delight in Frog’s stubborn schemes, big opinions, and increasingly ridiculous attempts to prove his point—while discovering that sometimes being yourself is pretty great.

And look for the equally funny sequels—I Don't Want to Be Big, There's Nothing to Do!, and I Don't Want to Go to Sleep.
