I Don't Want to Be a Frog by Dev Petty
A very determined little frog decides he'd rather be anyone-or anything-but himself.Frog doesn't want to be a slimy, wet frog. He'd much rather be a cat. Or a rabbit. Maybe an owl. But when a hungry wolf arrives-a wolf who HATES eating frogs-Frog suddenly discovers that being himself might not be so bad after all.
With its fast-paced banter between a feisty young frog and his heard-it-all-before father, this laugh-out-loud story captures a familiar childhood impulse: wanting to be anything other than who you are. Young readers will delight in Frog's stubborn schemes, big opinions, and increasingly ridiculous attempts to prove his point-while discovering that sometimes being yourself is pretty great.
And look for the equally funny sequels-I Don't Want to Be Big, There's Nothing to Do!, and I Don't Want to Go to Sleep.
