A second grader asked for a book about frogs. He had a new pet frog and wanted to learn how to take care of it. As we talked, it came out that he had found the frog at the bus stop that morning, was pretty sure his mom was not going to let him keep it, and had been storing it in his book bag all day. He thought maybe it could just live there and his mom wouldn't know about it. I was able to convince him that it is not healthy for frogs to live in book bags. Since it was 2:00 in the afternoon, I went to his classroom with him and explained to the teacher that I was there on a frog rescue mission. The teacher is not a frog-friendly kind of teacher so she screamed and told me to get the frog out of her classroom. I went outside with the little boy where he surprised me by very dramatically shouting "Live free and happy!", threw the frog in the air as high as he could, and ran back inside the building, trying not to cry.....the frog died on impact.... -- Cheryl Youse, MLS Media Specialist J.
