A Bank Street College of Education 2018 Best Children's Book of the Year
In another hilarious book from the I Don’t Want to be a Frog series, young Frog learns an unexpected lesson about how NOT to be bored.
Frog is bored. He can’t find ANYTHING to do—even when his animal friends make good suggestions, like sleeping all day, licking between his toes, or hopping around and then staring off into space. Will he find a fun and exciting way to spend his day? This story is sure to bring a smile to every kid who’s ever said, “There’s nothing to do!”
And look for the other books starring Frog: I Don't Want to Be a Frog, I Don't Want to Be Big and I Don't Want to Go to Sleep.
★ "Snappy, spot-on dialogue pairs ideally with the outsize drama of Boldt’s artwork; reading this book belongs on families’ to-do lists." —Publishers Weekly, starred review
"In a structured, overstimulated world, downtime needs to be appreciated, and this small amphibian shows the way." —Kirkus
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The malcontented frog from I Don't Want to Be a Frog and I Don't Want to Be Big is at a loss about what to do with his day. "You can't think of anything?" his father asks, working on a crossword puzzle. "I can think of lots of things... buuuuut I don't want to do any of them," replies the frog, wearing an expression that suggests he can't believe his father would even ask such a question. Friends' suggestions do nothing for the frog ("You should lick between your toes for a while," proposes Cat), who eventually realizes that doing nothing or at least being present in the moment can be something in itself. Snappy, spot-on dialogue pairs ideally with the outsize drama of Boldt's artwork; reading this book belongs on families' to-do lists. Ages 3 7.)
