=Other Suggested Activities For This Book:= If you are a Teacher-Librarian in Washington State who has shared this book with students and has a developed a successful extension activity - please provide a brief written description of your activity below. After sharing the story with students, I also shared Peter Brown's inspiration for the story on the inside back cover. He speaks of finding a frog and wanting to keep it for a pet when he was a child. I have the Scholastic Set of Children's Classic DVD's, one of which is the Curious George DVD. One of the extra features is a delightful video called "Frog Goes to Dinner." The students loved this wordless video and we could discuss why the frog was/was not a good pet to have.
