What's on our bookshelf...



Finklehopper Frog by Irene Livingston - Illustrated by Brian Lies

Finklehopper Frog noticed that all of the animals in his neighborhood had taken up jogging so he went out and bought a fancy suit so he could join them. He is soon made fun of for his funny outfit and the way he jogs. Thank goodness for Ruby Rabbit who hops by and teaches him the lesson that he is special just the way he is.

The story with a simple message of “just be yourself” is brought to life by a great rhythm and amazing illustrations. We love looking at all the animals and their jogging outfits. Who knew snakes wear headbands?

Check out the next Finklehopper Frog book called Finklehopper Frog Cheers. Finklehopper and his friend Ruby Rabbit appear again in a story about overcoming fears, standing up to bullies, and being a good sport.
