Bookroo's summary

A young frog dreams of being anything but a frog—perhaps a cat or an owl. His father listens patiently, but when a wolf who detests frogs appears, the little frog must reconsider his wishes. Through humorous dialogue and whimsical antics, this tale explores self-acceptance and the joy of embracing one's true nature. Will the frog find contentment in his own skin, or will his dreams of transformation persist? Dive into this delightful story to discover the answer and enjoy a laugh along the way.

From the publisher

Frog wants to be anything but a slimy, wet frog. A cat, perhaps. Or a rabbit. An owl? But when a hungry wolf arrives—a wolf who HATES eating frogs—our hero decides that being himself isn’t so bad after all. In this very silly story with a sly message, told in hilarious dialogue between a feisty young frog and his heard-it-all-before father, young readers will identify with little Frog’s desire to be something different, while laughing along at his stubborn yet endearing schemes to prove himself right.
