Frog finds lots of things he can't do; he can't fly like Duck, bake cakes like Pig or read books like Hare. Frog feels useless; "I'm just an ordinary green frog," he sobs.
Hare helps Frog to be proud of who and what he is and by the end of the story, Frog understands the world is full of different animals with different skills. He feels lucky to be Frog.
I use this book to explore difference and promote an acceptance of who we are. There are some things I can't do but at the same time there are some things I am good at. We want children to like the person they are and this story is a great way to reinforce that.
