About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is caught in a loop of comparison, whether they are feeling competitive with a sibling or frustrated that they are not exactly like a friend. It is an ideal choice for kids who define themselves by being the best or the fastest, helping them see that everyone has unique strengths that are worth celebrating without putting others down. The story follows a Frog and a Toad who are insistent on their differences: one is a better hopper, the other is stronger and bumpier. Their heated debate over who is superior is interrupted by a hungry alligator, forcing them to realize that their shared identity as amphibians is just as important as their individual traits. It is a lighthearted way to discuss identity, teamwork, and the silly nature of pride with children aged 4 to 8. Parents will appreciate how it blends basic biology with a valuable lesson on finding common ground.
