Froggy's sleepover

A parent should reach for this book when their child is preparing for their first sleepover and feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness. This story follows the ever-exuberant Froggy as he embarks on his very first sleepover at his friend Max's house. The night is full of comical mishaps as Froggy repeatedly forgets essential items, from his sleeping bag to his toothbrush, requiring multiple trips back home. Through its humorous and repetitive plot, the book gently addresses the anxiety of being away from home, normalizing the need for comfort items and the feeling of being a little disorganized when trying something new. It's an excellent choice for ages 3 to 7, using slapstick humor to frame a milestone event as a fun, low-stakes adventure rather than a daunting challenge. The story ultimately celebrates friendship, flexibility, and the security of knowing home is always there.
