Froggy Goes to Bed

"Froggy Goes to Bed" is a fun bed time story written by Jonathan London and written by Frank Remkiewicz. In this story, a mother frog undergoes a nightly ritual in which all mothers dread; putting one's child to bed. Not willing to go quietly, Froggy finds that he must search for every object needed in order to complete his nightly bedtime routine. I can imagine kids being able to see themselves as acting like Froggy when bed time rolls around. I really like the picture in this book for their vivid coloring and the dispersal of panelling as Froggy looks for his pajamas, toothbrush, sailboat, and "huggy" doll. I am unsure as to how to incorporate this story into the classroom, as it is more appropriate for a bedtime story, but this is only one of the several "Froggy" books out there, so I can imagine children creating their own adventures for Froggy to go on or maybe creating a friend for him. I think that this really could be a good writing opportunity for younger kids.
