The Grays don’t have that much fun. They don’t enjoy anything they do. Rayne Gray, the youngest, was bored with her toys, grossed out by the food at the restaurant, and acted just like her parents who found something wrong with EVERYTHING! Most of all, Rayne couldn’t understand why the new neighbors were so HAPPY. When Sunny, the new frogs’ daughter, invites Rayne to play, Rayne is taught to see life in a new way.
This is a wonderful book with a marvelous message. It tells you that, if you look at life positively, you can enjoy it more or appreciate little things. I like that the Gray family are green frogs, while Sunny’s family are poison dart frogs – extremely colorful! The illustrations were cute, but not my favorite style. The message of the story is so great, I think a lot of kids and adult will love it. The book is perfect for kindergarteners. It helps them understand the message in a subtle way.
I give this four out of five bookworms!
Sounds sweet! I like the word play in the title, too.
It made me smile. 🙂
A very important book about having a positive attitude. So many people seem spoiled these days when so any in the world have nothing. Great review. Erik.
Thank you Dr. Clune. You are so right.
I love that message. Even though my happy face is exactly the same as my worried face, I am a huge positive thinker. Great choice, E.
Love and licks,
