(4) PS In this adaptation of the old folk song, Froggie proposes indiscriminately to females of different species but is spurned each time for being a frog. Finally, he meets a female frog who proposes to him. The song's rhymes are sometimes clunky; the watercolors lean too heavily on hearts and flowers but suit the story. The message--find happiness with your own kind--is for each reader to accept or reject.
