This book is amazing! The pictures are unique in that they make you feel sorry for the charaters, but also laugh at the same time. It also delivers a powerful message about how you can do anything you put your mind to, no matter who or in this case "what" you are. This book is a must have for any childs library no matter the age.
My 2-1/2 year old daughter received this book for Christmas from her aunt and uncle (because she was enchanted by the frogs in their pond when we visited earlier in the year). She and I love this book. It's so much fun to read and it's a great story. The other day we were going for long car ride so I gave her the book while I popped in the CD. WOW! It was wonderful - she could follow along easily with the page turning sound effects. The voices add a whole new dimension to our enjoyment of the book. We can't wait to see what the author produces next. THanks.
This book is excellent! Frank has a dream he wants to fly only one problem everyone tells him that frogs can't fly. He still dreams.Frank is dreaming when he sees a baby bird in need. He helps. Because he helped the baby bird the mother bird helped him full fill his goal to fly.Then Frank sets a new goal: to be the best swimmer in the pond.So you can use this book to teach your child about the value of helping others, setting goals, and knowing what you are good at and being the best you can be.
Very nice quality hard cover book with great illustrations. Really cute story. I have not opened the cd yet as it is for a gift but everything is very well packaged and I am not worried about it being scratched.
I bought this book for a 4.5 year old. The story has a very positive message and the illustrations are beautiful! The CD that accompanies it is excellent with well chosen voices and lovely sound effects. I am very pleased with this purchase!
I've never seen a children's book so beautifully capture the balance between shooting for your dreams, while at the same time understanding your gifts and even limitations."You can do anything you set your mind too" is something we often tell children in efforts not to crush their young dreams. And who knows, we might have the next Michael Jordan sitting right in front of us.Despite all our good intentions though, the statement is untrue. What we actually mean is, "Don't let the fact that something is hard or seems unattainable stop you from giving it your all." Frank learns the lesson in a way that is accessible to every child. He does achieve his dream in a sense but realizes that he wasn't created to fly...but he sure can swim. A big lesson for small people.All philosophy aside, my children love the book and are obsessed with the CD that comes with it. It often plays for hours at a time as they follow along or use it as a background for doing other things.
Love the book. Cute story and my daughter loves listening to the guy read it. I bought 2 books - one to give as a gift and a used one (supposedly in great condition) for us to have at a home. Problem was, the used book didn't come with the CD. I feel like this should have been noted somewhere since that is pretty much the whole reason I bought the book. I downloaded the CD to my computer before I gave the gift away but if I hadn't ordered that 2nd book, I would be a highly unsatisfied customer right now! Overall, it's a great story and we love it.
We borrowed this book and cd from our library and just kept reading it over and over. The cd is well done also. I'm now looking to buy our own copy.My children enjoyed Freddie so much. They felt sorry for him, laughed with him, and cheered for him. The illustrations are simply beautiful.The story is about a little frog who wants to learn to fly, after all his parents had always told him he could do anything. He tries and tries but flying isn't a 'frog thing' it's a bird thing. Frankie's dream of flying becomes a reality when he is rewarded by a mother bird for rescueing her chick from the water. Read this wonderful book and find out how.You'll love Frankie and his family, Enjoy!
