The holidays are upon us, and we wanted to highlight some of our favorite froggy gifts.
Frog calendar
A portion of the proceeds of this calendar go to the World Wildlife Fund.
For baby
From Angel Dear, a curved frog pillow for baby. You have to feel this pillow to believe it-—it’s incredibly soft. I found this in a little boutique and I liked it so much I bought one even though I don’t know anyone who is having a baby anytime soon!

The pillow is machine washable with a removable cover.

Big Frog Can’t Fit In by Mo Willems (Hyperion, 2009)
![41ggCmlGpEL__SS500_ 41ggCmlGpEL__SS500_](http://frogsaregreen.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/41ggCmlGpEL__SS500_-300x300.jpg)
Big Frog is big. Quite big. So big this book can’t hold her. But with a lot of help from some good friends, Big Frog will fit in just fine.
Filled with unique sturdy pop-ups, and suitable for little hands, this new pop-up book will appeal to Mo Willems fans old and new.
Books for adults
The Lilypad List: 7 Steps to the Simple Life by Marian Van Eyk McCain
![17939189 17939189](http://frogsaregreen.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/17939189.jpg)
During the holiday season, especially, we need to be reminded about what is truly important in our lives. McCain uses frogs as a metaphor for living a simple but meaningful life. She writes, “Looking back, I think frogs have always been around calling to me to notice them. I am glad I am noticing them now and listening to their small, quiet messages. They have lots to teach me.”
Most of us know we need to simplify our lives, slow down, buy less stuff, and live more lightly on the Earth. But McCain, a psychotherapist, helps us to understand why we feel we need to acccumulate so much stuff. Each chapter opens with a charming drawing of a frog.

When my sons were young, I loved to give them Dover’s inexpensive little activity books ($1.50 each). Here is one–a stained glass frog coloring book. Note: although the link below is to Amazon, it can also be bought directly from Dover Publications.

Holiday Sleeper Gift
The Calls of Frogs and Toads (with CD) by Lang Elliott![31AAXjV65NL__SL500_AA200_ 31AAXjV65NL__SL500_AA200_](http://frogsaregreen.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/31AAXjV65NL__SL500_AA200_.jpg)
One Christmas, I gave my husband a book of bird calls–you find the bird in the book, press a button, and hear the bird’s call. He was a little underwhelmed by this gift! But over the years, we’ve used that book so many times. (It really captured our cats’ interest, too!). So in that spirit, I offer this frog call book as a sleeper holiday gift. Maybe on Christmas day after you’re tired of listening to holiday music, you can listen to great frog choruses instead!
