Reach for this book when your child feels intimidated by a larger peer or is struggling to find their voice against a bully. It is a classic David versus Goliath tale that replaces stones with wit, showing how a tiny frog manages to protect an entire forest from a hungry ogre through sheer cleverness. By pretending to be a powerful king, the frog shifts the power dynamic without ever needing to use physical force. While the concept of an ogre eating animals might sound intense, Solotareff uses humor and vibrant illustrations to keep the tone light and empowering. It is a fantastic choice for children ages 4 to 8 who are learning about personal boundaries, justice, and the importance of using their heads to solve problems. This story reminds children that being small does not mean being powerless, and that intelligence is the ultimate equalizer.
