Petty, Dev I Don’t
Want to Be a Frog Illustrated by Mike Boldt
Doubleday Books, 2015. $16.99 PICTURE BOOK
Content: G.
A young frog keeps
telling his dad that he wants to be other types of animals: cat, owl, bunny
or a pig and the dad keeps telling the frog he can only be a frog. The little frog complains about being slimy
and always eating bugs, but when they come across a wolf who explains how much
he likes eating pigs and bunnies, but not frogs, the frog starts to see the
benefits of being a frog.
The
illustrations are bright and colorful with cute facial expressions on the
frogs, but it is hard to tell what the wolf is.
The story is about keeping perspective and appreciating what you are,
but I think the point will be lost on little kids. There are better books out there about
appreciating who you are.
