Focus on the Family (Tyndale), 2025. 71 pages.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Reading Level<\/strong>: <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/redeemedreader.com\/category\/book-reviews\/picture-books-2\/\">Picture books, <\/a><\/strong>ages 4-8<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Recommended For<\/strong>: Ages 4-12<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>On a drippy day, Frog decides to make productive use of his indoor time by writing a story. He\u2019s hardly begun, though, when the letters on the page rebel. \u201cWe\u2019re sick and tired of being used!\u201d declaims an irate O. Each letter wants to decide for itself and feel significant in its own way. But they\u2019ve forgotten what they were created to do, as frog reminds them. The moral: <em>We\u2019re made for a much larger story\/ Which we miss if we seek our own glory.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The letters take wise words to heart, but in the next story Duck refuses to accept good advice and struts toward disaster. A group of barnyard animals ruin a good idea by each insisting on its own idea, a turtle lets self-improvement slogans get the better of him, an owl decides he\u2019s wise enough to solve everyone\u2019s problems but his, and a rabbit mistakes gullibility for trust and generosity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each story ends with a rhyming moral and quotes of culture-makers from Aristotle to Oprah, contrasted with biblical wisdom. Discussion questions help kids get at the meaning and apply it to themselves (and also make good family-devotion material). The stories are succinct and clever, complemented perfectly by the whimsical and colorful illustrations. The morals ring true without heavy-handedness, and just may land in a place where they\u2019ll be remembered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Considerations:<\/strong> none<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bottom Line:<\/strong> A fun family read-aloud to get kids thinking about the deceptions of the age they live in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-recommended-reading-at-redeemed-reader\">Recommended Reading at Redeemed Reader <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Review<\/strong>: We also like <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/redeemedreader.com\/wise-words-by-peter-j-leithart\/\"><em>Wise Words<\/em> by Peter Leithart,<\/a><\/strong> a similar story collection.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Review:<\/strong> For more direct instruction, you may enjoy <strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/redeemedreader.com\/faith-builder-catechism-by-kevin-hippolyte-jared-kennedy-and-trey-kullman\/\">Faith Builder Catechism<\/a>.<\/em><\/strong> <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Review<\/strong>: <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/redeemedreader.com\/the-long-road-home-by-sarah-walton\/\"><em>The Long Road Home<\/em> by Sarah Walton<\/a><\/strong> is another recent picture book with much spiritual truth.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background has-small-font-size\" style=\"background-color:#c6dadf\"><em>We are participants in the Amazon LLC affiliate program; purchases you make through affiliate links like the one below may earn us a commission.&nbsp;<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/redeemedreader.com\/2019\/11\/disclosure-policy\/\"><em>Read more here<\/em><\/a><em>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3J0IivC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">You can purchase <em>Frog&#8217;s Rainy-Day Story and Other Fables<\/em> on Amazon.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Frog\u2019s Rainy Day Story is a collection of modern-day fables exposing contemporary follies in an amusing and discussion-worthy way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":44254,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4013,4014,4015,3,6,4021,4020,12,13,17,25],"tags":[23912,166,172,175,269,528,731,1673,23831,2296,2669,4129,3957],"class_list":["post-44253","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-b-ages-4-8","category-c-ages-8-10","category-d-ages-10-12","category-book-reviews","category-christian","category-discussion-starters","category-family-read-alouds","category-humor","category-middle-grades","category-picture-books-2","category-starred-reviews","tag-23912","tag-ages-10-12","tag-ages-4-8","tag-ages-8-10","tag-animals","tag-book-reviews-2","tag-christian","tag-humor","tag-listable","tag-middle-grades","tag-picture-books","tag-starred-reviews","tag-worldview"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.2 (Yoast SEO v26.2) -
