Book Reviews of A Frog Thing (with Audio CD)
Book Review: A Big Lesson for Small People
Summary: 5 Stars
I've never seen a children's book so beautifully capture the balance between shooting for your dreams, while at the same time understanding your gifts and even limitations.
"You can do anything you set your mind too" is something we often tell children in efforts not to crush their young dreams. And who knows, we might have the next Michael Jordan sitting right in front of us.
Despite all our good intentions though, the statement is untrue. What we actually mean is, "Don't let the fact that something is hard or seems unattainable stop you from giving it your all." Frank learns the lesson in a way that is accessible to every child. He does achieve his dream in a sense but realizes that he wasn't created to fly...but he sure can swim. A big lesson for small people.
All philosophy aside, my children love the book and are obsessed with the CD that comes with it. It often plays for hours at a time as they follow along or use it as a background for doing other things.
Summary of A Frog Thing (with Audio CD)
Frank wasn't satisfied doing ordinary frog things. He wanted to fly, but he was a frog and frogs can't fly. Follow along as Frank jumps and runs and leaps and dives until he finally finds his place in the pond. The companion book on cd will transport you and your child into Frank's world with sound effects and wonderful performances by children and adults.Frogs & Toads Books
