Froggy Goes to School

Reach for this book when your child is facing a major transition, particularly the first day of school, and needs a dose of humor to cut through the tension. While many school stories take a sentimental or instructional tone, this story uses slapstick comedy and relatable mishaps to show that even if things go slightly wrong, school is still a place of joy and belonging. It is an ideal pick for children who express their anxiety through restlessness or 'silly' behavior. The story follows Froggy as he navigates the typical rituals of the first day, from the nervousness of waking up to the excitement of the bus ride. Through Froggy's signature sound effects and a funny dream sequence where he forgets his clothes, the book acknowledges the very real fears children have about embarrassment and the unknown. By the end, Froggy's successful day helps kids realize that they, too, can master the school routine with confidence and a sense of humor.
