Critics Review
“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“A lively look at self-acceptance.“—Kirkus Reviews“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
