The best kids book I've seen in a long time

My 2-1/2 year old daughter received this book for Christmas from her aunt and uncle (because she was enchanted by the frogs in their pond when we visited earlier in the year). She and I love this book. It's so much fun to read and it's a great story. The other day we were going for long car ride so I gave her the book while I popped in the CD. WOW! It was wonderful - she could follow along easily with the page turning sound effects. The voices add a whole new dimension to our enjoyment of the book. We can't wait to see what the author produces next. THanks.

Frank is Fabulous!

My son is 2.5 and loves this book more than I can possibly describe. I purchased it in conjunction with Ellison the Elephant, by the same illustrator and author, and literally these two have been in his nightly request list since they arrived. The illustrations are lovely, and the 'lessons' are great and not in a heavy-handed delivery. There are audio CD's but I prefer to read them to my son. Enjoy!

Great children's book

Frog wants to fly! But flying is a bird thing and not a frog thing. Frog can do frog things but he wants to fly. Everyone tells him that he can do anything, as long as it is a frog thing. But you never know what might happen and how a frog might be able to do a bird thing. A Frog Thing is an excellent children's book and highly recommended.

A frog lover's view

We borrowed this book and cd from our library and just kept reading it over and over. The cd is well done also. I'm now looking to buy our own copy. My children enjoyed Freddie so much. They felt sorry for him, laughed with him, and cheered for him. The illustrations are simply beautiful. The story is about a little frog who wants to learn to fly, after all his parents had always told him he could do anything. He tries and tries but flying isn't a 'frog thing' it's a bird thing. Frankie's dream of flying becomes a reality when he is rewarded by a mother bird for rescueing her chick from the water. Read this wonderful book and find out how. You'll love Frankie and his family, Enjoy!

"A Frog Thing" is a great thing!

This book is amazing! The pictures are unique in that they make you feel sorry for the charaters, but also laugh at the same time. It also delivers a powerful message about how you can do anything you put your mind to, no matter who or in this case "what" you are. This book is a must have for any childs library no matter the age.
