Mouse wakes up with an idea to write a story. His story starts out well enough until his friend frog hops into the story with an exuberant flair for the dramatic. Frog's story is a hodgepodge of stories he's heard and those voices effectively silence mouse's own story. This is a good picture book about balance in friendship. Knowing when to help and how much help to offer is important in all friendships.

I liked the clever takes on the art, but for some reason this didn't ring my cute-bell the way some of the other picture books I've read recently did.

Great book on cooperation and also how the writing process works - it ebbs and flows and changes. My favorite part though is at the end when Mouse and Frog question who the real author of the book is!

I'm going out on a limb to say that this will win the CLEL Bell for the WRITE category this year (announced in early 2016). It's perfect.

Frog is a little too exuberant and frustrates Mouse as Mouse tries to write a story. Children will relate to the friends who try to jump in and take over. Luckily, Mouse & Frog find a way to create a story together. Recommended for Grades K-2.

Wow! I really love this book! I think it fits perfectly in with the Learn like a Pirate collaboration unit that I am thinking about right now for my grades 1-2 classes.

Just adorable! I would use this in a friendship theme, or imagination theme storytime. :)
