Featuring the beloved characters from I Don’t Want to Be a Frog and I Don’t Want to Be Big, this new story is sure to bring a smile to every kid who’s ever said “There’s nothing to do!” And look for the other books starring Frog: I Don’t Want to Be a Frog, I Don’t Want to Be Big and I Don’t Want to Go to Sleep. ★ Snappy, spot-on dialogue pairs ideally with the outsize drama of Boldt’s artwork; reading this book belongs on families’ to-do lists.–Publishers Weekly, starred review In a structured, overstimulated world, downtime needs to be appreciated, and this small amphibian shows the way.–Kirkus
