My prof gave it to me to read and it was very enjoyable! I'm a huge Kermit the Frog fan anyhow (did you know he is the only Muppet crossover between Sesame Street and the Muppet Show? Thank you "West Wing" for that info) so this book was already appealing before I opened it. It does a great job of going back and forth between Kermit's "biography" and life lessons and you would be amazed at how much you learn from a frog! Highly recommended for a day when you need a pick-me-up!
I grew up with the Muppets, so Kermit's book when I saw it at the library was something I had to snag. I expected a drag grab for money in all honest and was disappointed. This book is fun to read, even though I'm well aware there is Kermit is as real as my own characters. I skimmed some parts but I got the gist of it and would suggest any Muppet lover check it out.
A cute perspective on philosophy from Kermit the Frog (and friends). Easy read.
rabck from Mysscyn; Cute Life lessons book written by the one and only - Kermit the Frog! With chapters from some of the other muppets, including Fozzie the Bear and Miss Piggy. There really are life lessons in here, buried amongst the muppet humor. Very cute read. It's a tag-it-forward book, once I get the BC'rs address.
Loved this book! I recommend it to anyone who needs advice, or just needs a laugh! Pretty easy read! :)
There are no words beyond if you love Kermit, you'll love this book.
