Summary: Some Frog
Review: This is a very real to life story in which a boy waits for hisfather to come to help him catch a frog for a big jumping contest atschool. As he waits for his father to come home it gets later and later until he knows that his father is not coming. So after dinner his mother takes him down to the pond to catch a frog for his class race. The mother and the boy end up catching the winning frog. The whole time at school the boy is watching for his father to come to school to see him race his frog. However the father never does show up for the race. At the end of the story the young boy figures out that his father is probably no longer part of their family picture. Great story for children 8-10 years old, who are having a difficult time adjusting to a parent who has left the family or dealing with separation/divorce.
