I have always loved the froggy books because they are always talking about how Froggy is forgetting things as he's doing something. He always has to go back and get the items that he forgot.
As a future teacher who is wanting to teach the younger grades, I would like to have a collection of the Froggy books to put in my classroom. The children will be able to read and enjoy the books as I have even as an adult. show less

Cute little situation that honestly disturbed me. I can't say that even I would allow this madness. My kids have asked several times if they could do this, and the thing is I have never met their parents and they haven't made the attempt to contact me; about said sleepovers. As a parent I would only that my kids would go to a trusted friends house, one where I trust their parents. All in all I'm just rambling so carry on with your night.
Spooky Readings.

Review: Froggy's Sleepover is about a young frog who has his first sleepover. However, many things get in the way of making the sleepover successful...until the next morning when he and his friend finally fall asleep. This book is a good example of fantasy because the story, characters, setting, and events are made to be believable. The story is extremely believable and the actual storyline could happen in real life to children, the entire story is based off of a fictional frog character.
