"With warm humor and grace, this brightly illustrated picture book shows kids that while we might think the grass is greener elsewhere, we can be happy and loved, just as we are." - Seira Wilson, Amazon Editor

The hit book about a willful young frog with a serious identity crisis and his heard-it-all-before father! Perfect for fans of Mo Willems’s�Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!�and Jon Klassen’s I�Want My Hat Back!

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.

And look for the hilarious sequels—I Don't Want to Be Big�and�There's Nothing to Do!

★�"First-time author Petty’s dialogue between a frog father and his son makes its point about accepting one’s nature with a big grin. . . . The story might create similar gratitude in the minds of readers—or it might just make them giggle."—Publishers Weekly,�STARRED REVIEW

"A lively look at self-acceptance."—Kirkus Reviews

"This amusing story ends with a laugh and a much more content frog."—School Library Journal

"Silliness and deadpan humor combine into a hopping good story of being happy with who you are."—Booklist

"A paean to self-acceptance wrapped in snappy dialogue and illustrated with richly colored comic paintings."—Wall Street Journal

"Petty and Boldt provide just enough predictability to hook youngest readers, then deliver a delightful twist or two to create surprise and satisfaction—for both the green hero and the many fans he'll make with this book."—Shelf Awareness

"This lighthearted exploration of identity will delight as a readaloud."—The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

现在，如果问你：你喜欢自己吗？

“喜欢！”——可否毫不犹豫、干干脆脆地肯定自己呢？

如果给你一个机会，可以变成世界上任何一种动物，你想成为什么？

“或许不会做一只青蛙，对吗？”小青蛙正是这样想的。

小青蛙想成为任何动物都不想做一只青蛙。比如猫、兔子、猫头鹰，或者猪也好呀！但青蛙爸爸总是在一旁耐心的解释到：你不不能成为其他任何小动物哦，你没有兔子那样长长的耳朵，你没有猪那样的卷卷尾巴，你也没有猫头鹰的翅膀......到底做青蛙有什么不好呢？

“因为青蛙总是待在潮湿的地方，吃着各种虫子，全身上下都黏糊糊的！”小青蛙埋怨着。

这时候，一只很饿很饿的狼来了，还是一只非常讨厌吃青蛙的狼。狼听到了青蛙父子的对话，然后说到：虽然青蛙又湿又黏的，但是你很幸运我从不吃青蛙。

“We are what we are”小青蛙在一番争辩后终于正视并接纳自己。我们每个人都很平凡，有不同的优点和缺点，渴望别人的优点前为什么不先看到自己的优点呢；我们其实也不平凡，因为展示一个完全的真实自我都需要足够的勇气，不苛求自己和他人，拥有一个平和的心态和满足感都是我们需要靠自己努力去平衡。而最后，�自我的接纳才会发现生活中有更多的爱与快乐。

这是一本以小见大的故事绘本，青蛙父子的对话看似简单，甚至有些滑稽可笑。但在笑一笑后，我们还是会发现这其中蕴含关于“自我接纳”这一中心主题。细心的读者会发现，在绘本蝴蝶页，我们的主人公小青蛙由在角落羡慕的望着其他小动物的状态转变成开心地加入到小动物们中去。
