Booktalk #2 If you could be any animal in the world, what would it be? A cat? A lion? A dog? A bear? If you are like the main character in this book, you won't want to be a frog. Unfortunately the main character is a frog. When the little frog announces "I don't want to be a frog!" to his dad, his dad is puzzled. Frog thinks all the other animals in the forest are so much better, until a scary wolf points out the best thing about being a frog- he won't be eaten by wolves!   (Pennsylvania Young Reader's Choice Award Program, 2017)
