I Don't Want to Be a Frog by Dev Petty, illustrated by Mike Boldt Grades PreK-2 32 pages Doubleday February 2015 Hardcover     There seems to be a number of recent children’s literary characters facing an identity crisis. In the end, the fish, bear, pigeon, or whatever finds out it’s okay to be a fish, bear, pigeon, or whatever. This time it’s a frog. The sassy frog wants to be anything but a frog--until he meets a hungry wolf, and they both learn about the benefits of being a frog. It might be on the verge of a tired premise but I Don't Want to Be a Frog is sharp and spirited with some tongue in cheek illustrations.     web reviews   Zane Ewton/2016 for curled up with a good kid's book   For grown-up fiction, nonfiction and speculative fiction book reviews, visit our sister site Curled Up With a Good Book (www.curledup.com)
