I Am Going to Jump This Log

About this book

A very ambitious frog decides that he’s going to jump the large log in front of him. However, when he tries, he splats straight into it, face-first. 

It’s deeply unfair, because all the other animals seem to have no problem, jumping the log: a deer and a rabbit seem to scale it just fine. But, for the frog, the log is a personal Everest. Then, when a tiny snail makes its way merrily up the log, the frog loses all confidence. 

Finally, a bird takes pity on Frog, and gives him a helping claw. Unfortunately, an even bigger log awaits… 

This delightful, funny story about resilience, trying again – and accepting help and your own limitations – is a real delight. Its zany humour coupled with Jack Viant’s hilarious close-up illustration will have readers giggling, as well as rooting for Frog.
