Reviews / Votes
Gold Medal, 2 5 Moonbeam Awards, Self-Est?eem amp quot Relying on minimal text, with important words in bold, Stickley introduces children to a frog whose feet stick to everything they come into contact with but who learns the importance of persevering despite obstacles....cartoonlike illustrations differ from book to book but are cheerful and upbeat, while the writing is simple and accessible, if purposeful. All titles include notes for parents and caregivers on the subjects, strategies for helping children cope, and web resources. amp quot -School Library Journalamp quot More than a picture book, it's also a subtle guide to learning how to focus on getting tasks done. amp quot -Midwest Book Review
amp quot This is a clever and upbeat story that introduces children to the idea of sticking with a task or challenge and seeing it through to completion. This ultimately helps children feel proud about what they are doing. amp quot -Children's Books Heal
