# The Pros & Cons of Being a Frog - Hardcover

by **Sue Degennaro** (Author), **Sue Degennaro** (Illustrator)

**"This celebration of differences displays great respect for readers' intelligence and yields more with each reading. --_Kirkus Reviews_ (starred review)**

Two shy kids discover the power of friendship in this charming picture book that celebrates being different.

A boy likes to dress as a cat, but his best friend's dog objects. What will he dress as now? A giraffe? A fox? A shark? When his best friend, Camille, suggests a frog, they work together to make the frog costume...until Camille runs out of patience. So the boy makes a list of the pros and cons of being a frog:

Pros:  
1\. My friend Camille gave me the idea  
2\. I'm less likely to be chased by a dog  
3\. Being in a frog costume makes me feel brave

Cons:  
1\. Not everyone loves wearing a frog costume as much as me  
2\. If you start getting bossy about your frog costume then your friend will get up and leave  
3\. A frog is NOT a solitary creature so it is no fun for a frog if his friend gets up and leaves

Luckily, he won't have to choose, because true friendship means accepting each other's differences: he can be himself _and_ have his friend Camille.
