A BOY, A DOG, AND A FROG/FROG GOES TO DINNER

A BOY, A DOG, AND A FROG/FROG GOES TO DINNER by Mercer Mayer

I tried to get the frogs to comply and pose for a picture alongside our outdoor goldfish tank. They would have nothing to do with it.

It's time for a flashback to some of the best wordless books ever created for kids (in my opinion). If you want a book that will make you laugh, or I suppose it may cause you to feel faint if you have a child like this at home, these books are for you! Mercer Mayer nails idyllic childhood in his book A Boy, A Dog, and a Frog. Watch through a progression of pictures, as a boy sets off with his dog to the local pond to catch a frog. When the frog refuses to be caught, the boy heads home, but that is not the end of the story.

In Frog Goes to Dinner, above mentioned frog joins the family at a fancy restaurant for dinner. Yes, what you imagine happens! If you have ever had a memorable restaurant experience with one of your kiddos (I have once - thank goodness it was out of state!), you will completely understand the parents' reaction. Absolutely hilarious for both parents and children even if you are coming at it from different view points!
