In another hilarious book from the I Don’t Want to be a Frog series, young Frog learns an unexpected lesson about how NOT to be bored. 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 is bored. He can’t find ANYTHING to do—even when his animal friends make good suggestions, like sleeping all day, licking between his toes, or hopping around and then staring off into space. Will he find a fun and exciting way to spend his day? Featuring the beloved characters from I Don’t Want to Be a Frog and I Don’t Want to Be Big, this new story is sure to bring a smile to every kid who’s ever said “There’s nothing to do!”

And look for the other books starring Frog: I Don't Want to Be a Frog, I Don't Want to Be Big and I Don't Want to Go to Sleep.

★ "Snappy, spot-on dialogue pairs ideally with the outsize drama of Boldt’s artwork; reading this book belongs on families’ to-do lists."—Publishers Weekly, starred review

"In a structured, overstimulated world, downtime needs to be appreciated, and this small amphibian shows the way."—Kirkus

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY AUG 21, 2017

The malcontented frog from I Don't Want to Be a Frog and I Don't Want to Be Big is at a loss about what to do with his day. "You can't think of anything?" his father asks, working on a crossword puzzle. "I can think of lots of things... buuuuut I don't want to do any of them," replies the frog, wearing an expression that suggests he can't believe his father would even ask such a question. Friends' suggestions do nothing for the frog ("You should lick between your toes for a while," proposes Cat), who eventually realizes that doing nothing or at least being present in the moment can be something in itself. Snappy, spot-on dialogue pairs ideally with the outsize drama of Boldt's artwork; reading this book belongs on families' to-do lists. Ages 3 7.)
