About This Book
A parent would reach for this book when their child is showing fear or reluctance about starting swimming lessons or trying something new. Froggy is a young frog who is afraid of the water, a fact that's quite funny since he's a frog! With gentle and humorous encouragement from his mother, Froggy gets dressed (with a few forgotten items along the way) and learns a silly song that helps him overcome his fear and discover the joy of swimming. This book is perfect for ages 3 to 6. Its use of slapstick humor, repetitive phrases, and silly sounds makes the topic of fear feel manageable and lighthearted, providing a fun way to start a conversation about bravery.
