The Pros and Cons of Being a Frog

A young boy enjoys dressing up as animals, and his friend Camille loves math so much some days she talks only in numbers.  Finding the right animal is tough for the young boy.  With the help of his friend Camille, he settles on dressing as a frog.  Thrilled with his costume he decides Camille should also dress as a frog.  While Camille agrees to help make a costume, she soon loses interest in the long process and reverts to her love of math.  Frustrated, the young boy yells at Camille to stop wiggling.  Her feelings hurt, Camille picks up her things and goes home.  Now all alone and feeling lonely, the young boy makes a list of the Pros and Cons of Being a Frog and decides to find Camille and apologize.  No matter where he looks he cannot find Camille, only numbers.  Just as he’s about to give up, he hears the sound of Camille’s frog feet approaching.  The books ends with an apology and a hug.

A sweet story celebrating how friends can be unique and very different from each other and still be friends.
