At first glance, Frog Island might seem like just another mysterious place on a map. But the more you travel with Sparkles and her friends, the more you realize—Frog Island represents something much bigger.
It’s a symbol of curiosity, wonder, and that inner tug we all feel when we dream of doing something big and exciting.
Beth Berger-Caldwell invites young readers to see adventure not just as a destination, but as something that lives inside us. Whether you’re building a fort in your living room, pretending your backyard is a jungle, or reading under the covers with a flashlight, you’re on your way to your own version of Frog Island.
This story reminds us that imagination can take you farther than any plane or boat. And best of all? You never really outgrow the spirit of adventure—if you keep your heart open to it.
This charming children’s book was commended by Joyce Jacobo of the US Review of Books, acknowledging that “Certain stories have an intimate feel associated with gifts from close family members. These four friends who go on a journey in a large house environment—where pieces of furniture, toys, and even cats become characters for them to encounter—is just such a story. A child who perhaps recognizes the toys featured in the book might get a huge thrill out of seeing them partake in different adventures, photographed in cute positions throughout a familiar home.”
