Title: Froggy is disobedient and his mother does not seem to mind ..
Review: In the beginning of the book, Mother Frog tells Froggy to "go back to sleep" that frogs are suppose to sleep all winter. She tells him to "wake up when the snow melts". Froggy replies, "No! No!", jumps out of bed, and proceeds to get dressed and go outside. Instead of his Mother addressing his disobedience, she seems to half smile and watches his attempts to get dressed and do what he wants to do. Well, that just ruins it for me. The idea of Froggy having a hard time getting dressed and the repetition which I know kids love is cute, but I just cannot get past the fact that his Mother told him to stay in bed, he chose not to listen, and she was perfectly fine with it! I would rather my children read books that support what we are trying to teach them: that parents set boundaries for their children for a reason and that children need to obey and respect their parents wishes.
