Praise for the series: I Don't Want to Be a Frog: "First-time author Petty's dialogue between a frog father and his son makes its point about accepting one's nature with a big grin. . . . The story might create similar gratitude in the minds of readers--or it might just make them giggle."--Publishers Weekly, starred review I Don't Want to Be Big: "Reminiscent of Mo Willems's 'Elephant and Piggie' series"--Publishers Weekly There's Nothing to Do!: "Snappy, spot-on dialogue pairs ideally with the outsize drama of Boldt's artwork; reading this book belongs on families' to-do lists."--Publishers Weekly, starred review.
