This is an adorable story about Froggie's big day that everyone will love!

Froggie was snuggled up all cozy in his bed with his pet froggie cuddled under his arms and his own little toes sticking out from under the covers. One morning he got out of bed and started to shout, "Today's the day!" and he started to sing. "BAH-RUMMM-TAH-RUMMMM . . . " because it was a special day. It was Grandpa's birthday and there was going to be a party. When he got to the party site, he was so excited that his uncle had to tell him to "slow down." We all know what it's like when we are really excited about something! He was really riled up and got to work making a costume, a stage, a program and would have kept on going if Rabbit hadn't told him to take a break. The presents piled up, the excitement was building and more and more froggies were showing up with gifts. Froggie was all excited and ready to roll. Very soon he was on stage singing his special song to Grandpa. "BAH-RUMMM-TAH-RUMMMM . . . " Oh, it was such a special day, but soon it was over and Froggie didn't want to leave. He wanted the party to go on and on and on. The happy day was going to turn into a sad one. What happens to you when a happy day is all over and you don't want it to end? This is an adorable, manic and exciting little story that everyone will love. It's rhythmical and the more Froggie gets into his day the more whirlwind it becomes. The art work is colorful, animated and humorous. If you have a little one, one who can't manage to tone down after an exciting day, and doesn't want it to end nor wants to go to bed this might be the perfect tale. Of course it's one of those fun little stories that don't need any reason to have a bit of fun and read!
