This book shows how the principal is turned into a frog but still runs his school. No matter what form, shape or size the principal is he still wants to be there for his students. No matter happens to you, never forget who you are and what you care about.
This book is about a principal who gets turned into a frog but keeps acting as principal even though no one knows he is the same person. I would use this because it is a cute funny book that kids would enjoy in grades 1-3.
When the principal turns into a frog (thanks to a friendly magician) he wonders, "Will I still be able to run my school when I'm a wet, slimy frog?"
