Froggy's First Kiss

Froggy had a crush on Frogilina. She was the prettiest frog he'd ever seen and "when she smiled at him his insides got all soft and wiggly, like he'd had caterpillars for breakfast." He finds it's not easy being keen on someone--every time he's distracted by Frogilina's charms, whether he's hanging upside down on the monkey bars or crouching under his desk to make her a valentine, he ends up bonking his head. After too many humiliations, Froggy heads home, his heart heavy. "Was it love? Was it hunger? Was it his backpack full of valentines?" Finally, he decides that maybe it would be a lot easier if good old mom was his special valentine, a message that mothers everywhere will appreciate! If your kids clamor for more Froggy books (and they will), they can also investigate Froggy Gets Dressed, Let's Go, Froggy!, Froggy Learns to Swim, and Froggy Goes to School, all of which have been awarded the IRA-CBC Children's Choice Award.
