Reach for this book when your child is facing their first overnight with a babysitter or when they are feeling a mix of high energy and apprehension about a change in the evening routine. Froggy is known for his boisterous and clumsy antics, and this story follows him as he navigates the arrival of a brand new sitter while his parents go out for the night. It is a perfect choice for children who might need to see their own 'big feelings' or 'naughty' impulses played out through a safe and silly character. The story balances the humor of Froggy's havoc-wreaking behavior with the ultimate reassurance that a new caregiver can be a source of fun and safety. It normalizes the chaos that often accompanies a parent's departure while modeling a positive outcome. This is an ideal read for preschoolers and early elementary students (ages 3 to 7) who respond well to slapstick humor and repeating catchphrases. It helps bridge the gap between the anxiety of separation and the excitement of a special 'big kid' evening.
