Froggy’s Worst Play Date

It’s Saturday and Froggy woke up early wanting to go out and play.  His mom wants him to go back to bed.  He heads over to a friend’s house only to find him gone, so is another friend, and another, until finally, Froggy is sad because all of his friends have gone somewhere.  Froggy’s dad has planned a play date for Froggy with Frogilina, and they are all going to the movies.  Froggy decides that since he really wants to see the movie, he’ll go, but he isn’t happy about having Frogilina tagging along.  Frogilina happens to be a little imp; she throws popcorn at Froggy at the movies, she’s kisses him as if he’s the Frog Prince, and she takes a bite off the bottom of Froggy’s ice cream cone so it drips all over him.  It’s the worst play date ever!   The whole business of a little boy and a little girl being friends and playing together is still a bit disconcerting–even kindergarteners don’t know what to think.  The girls giggle and look at the boys.  Kind of an awkward book for kids.
