Froggy Plays Soccer

By: Jonathan London

Narrated by: John McDonough

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 toward victory.

Bad attitude

Froggy had a disobedient attitude and the parents aren’t kind either. The whole tone isn’t great.
