"This book is great for students because they are learning about making friends and how to act. Froggy ends up being scared when he goes to spend the night with someone and many kids are able to relate to that and realize that it's okay."
— Christina (4 out of 5 stars)
“Children will love listening to and reading along with the funsounding text.”
— Children’s Literature" Both Froggy and his friend are afraid of spending the night away from home. They spend the night traveling back and forth from one house to the next. A great book to read and discuss with your child about staying away from home. "

— Larissa, 1/28/2014" A cute book in which Froggy is going to have a sleepover at his friend Max's house. After a series of kid size problems, Froggy and Max eventually fall asleep. Poor parents! A good book to prepare any child for their first sleepover. =) "
— Samantha, 1/24/2014" Another great "Froggy" book. Students could discuss confronting the fears of sleeping somewhere other than their own home. Could also be used to teach onamotopeias and how to be a good friend. Grades K through 2nd. "
