Synopsis

The night before the big soccer game, Froggy is so excited he can't get to sleep. But morning comes, and he's ready to go. If the Dream Team beats the Wild Things, they win the City Cup. It's zap, zeep, znap, and Froggy's in his uniform. On the way to the game his dad reminds him: "Head it! Boot it! Knee it! Shoot it! But don't use your hands!" The game starts, and Froggy is on the field. He does some cartwheels, he picks some flowers and his nose. With a minute left to go the game is tied, and the ball is headed straight for Froggy. Can Froggy keep his mind on the game and his hands off the ball long enough to save the day? Young listeners will cheer along with John McDonough's lively narration as Froggy flops his way towards victory.

The story relates to Karen Sánchez- Eppler’s idea of “Childhood” of allowing the child to make mistakes. Froggy is so energetic abo......more

Goodreads review by Sean on January 12, 2024

Sporting books always have to have them playing in some cup final, but how on earth did they get there? This book would have been served better if the game was just two teams having a hit around the park. Anyway the frog has no idea how to play soccer, they keep emphasising don't use your hands which......more
