Reflection: This pop-out book by Mo Willems is about a big frog whose body and legs can’t fit into the confines of this book. The book gives suggestions of “If only she were smaller… more bendable…” and includes tabs that can be pulled down to make her smaller and change her facial expression to a smile. She gets help from her small frog friends who stretch the pages and make a bigger book so she will fit in. This book teaches cooperation and being who we are.
