I Don't Want to Be a Frog

By Dev Petty

Book Overview

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.
