The Frog Who Would Not Hop

Mother Frog couldn’t wait to see all her little tadpoles grow into happy, hopping frogs. One by one they stretched, jumped, and bounded away—except for Tippie. Tippie didn’t want to hop or jump like the others. He preferred to walk. In fact, he thought hopping looked silly!

At first, Tippie enjoyed being different, especially when other young frogs began copying him. But when his stubbornness put the whole frog family in danger from a hungry fox, Tippie had to learn a very big lesson about listening, instincts, and what it really means to be a frog.

Full of humor, adventure, and a splash of danger, this delightful tale shows young readers the importance of being true to yourself—while also learning when it’s wise to listen.

Perfect for children who love animal adventures and fun read-aloud stories!
