La grenouille de cette histoire en a assez d'être humide et gluante. Elle souhaiterait devenir un lapin ou un hibou. Son papa désapprouve et tente de faire entendre raison à son fils. Ce dernier changera d'idée lorsqu'il apprendra que les grands méchants loups affamés détestent manger les petites bêtes humides et gluantes comme lui.
Les admirateurs du livre Rendez-moi mon chapeau! de Jon Klassen adoreront cette jeune grenouille entêtée qui vit une crise d'identité.
Frog wants to be anything but a slimy, wet frog. A cat, perhaps. Or a rabbit. An owl? But when a hungry wolf arrives -- a wolf who HATES eating frogs -- our hero decides that maybe being himself isn't so bad after all. In this very silly story with a sly message, told in hilarious dialogue between a feisty young frog and his heard-it-all-before father, young readers will identify with little Frog's desire to be something different, while laughing along at his stubborn yet endearing schemes to prove himself right.
Fans of Jon Klassen's I Want My Hat Back (Rendez-moi mon chapeau!) will love meeting this willful young frog with a serious identity crisis.
Original title: I Don't Want to Be a Frog
