Description
There's only one thing Dylan wants: frog boots! But what happens when this little boy discovers they're meant for . . . girls?
School shopping's no fun for Dylan - until he spots a pair of boots decorated with poison-dart frogs. They're so cool that he even wears them to bed, where he discovers they glow in the dark! He can't wait to wear them to class. But before he can show them off in circle time, a kid exclaims: "Ms. Kory, that boy's wearing girl boots." And, suddenly, when everyone's laughing at him, the boots don't seem so wonderful anymore. Will he ever want to wear them again? A timely story about embracing what you love, staying true to yourself and defying stereotypes.

Praise for Jill EsbaumFrankenbunny
"To the certain delight of all younger sibs everywhere, Spencer exacts sweet revenge on his big brothers . . . after he discovers that they are just playing a prank with their terrifying warnings about a red-eyed closet monster . . . The result is all he (and readers) could hope for." --Booklist
If a T. Rex Crashes Your Birthday Party
"Reading this crowd-pleaser aloud may cause clamorous laughter in even the most serious of storytime attendees." --School Library Journal
Teeny Tiny Toady
"Teeny is 'toadally' terrific. . . . A triumphant reaffirmation of the truth that large hearts can beat in small chests, told in playful verse that gallops along with nary a stumble." --Kirkus
