Boris is set on proving that he isn't any old frog. This big, handsome frog loves to boast about how he can do anything better than anyone. There's no match for him when it comes to swimming, jumping, or diving. But Boris's boastful attitude leads to big trouble--and a surprise ending. This picture book provides a whimsical cautionary tale about why you don't need to show off to be accepted.

In a pond at the bottom of a muddy field there lived a frog named Boris. He was big and strong and handsome, but he was also boastful. Boris could do anything. He could jump, swim, and dive better than anyone else or so he said. But one day his boasting got the better of him!"
