Illustrated by
Matthew Cordell.
A young frog explores the wonders of his world in Thompson's parent-centered tale. Although Junior seeks out the farthest stars, he always returns home, knowing that no matter how far he explores, his mother will always be there waiting for him. There's some spark to the rhymes, and Cordell's illustrations don't take themselves too seriously; otherwise, it's all just reassurance for moms.
