It's hard to resist the toothy smile of Carlson's frog protagonist in this book about staying positive regardless of the challenges around you (e.g., being the new kid in school, doing badly on a test). The Spanish translation (uncredited) is somewhat leaden and literal, but the facial expressions of the bright green, red-eyed froggie will make most readers smile.
