DeGennaro, Sue The Pros and Cons of Being a Frog. PICTURE BOOK.
Simon & Schuster, 2016.
$18.
The boy is very creative and obsessive; his best friend
Camille is more orderly and mathematical.
When he tries to make her a frog costume too, he fails to pick up on her
cues and they both blow up. After some
calming down, they might be able to patch things up.
My favorite part of the story is the boy recognizing where
things went wrong and the pair forgiving each other. The illustrations are charming. It might be a good way to talk about
differences and accepting differences and to help kids understand that one
fight doesn’t mean that you will never be friends again.
EL (K-3) – ADVISABLE.
