00:00FROGGY GOES TO SCHOOL

00:29By Jonathan Lunden

00:30Illustrated by Frank Remkowitz

00:32It was the first day of school.

00:38Froggy woke up and looked out the window.

00:41The sun was high in the sky.

00:43Oh no!

00:44The bus!

00:45The bus!

00:46He cried.

00:47I'll miss the bus!

00:52He hopped out of bed and flopped outside.

00:56Flop-flop-flop.

00:57The school bus was leaving.

01:03Wait!

01:04Wait!

01:05He yelled and took a mighty hop.

01:11The bus hissed to a stop and the door folded open.

01:15Froggy flopped up the steps.

01:17Flop-flop-flop.

01:19But when he reached the top, everybody laughed and pointed their fingers.

01:25Froggy!

01:28yelled his friend Max.

01:31What?

01:32Did you forget something?

01:34Froggy looked down.

01:36Oops!

01:37He was in his underwear.

01:43He dashed to the back of the bus and hid behind Max's umbrella all the way to school.

01:49At school, he hopped behind bushes.

01:57He tried to hide behind the flagpole.

02:00He rolled down the hall like a bowling ball.

02:03And in class, he pretended to be a flowerpot.

02:09Froggy! called his teacher.

02:12What?

02:13But it wasn't his teacher at all.

02:16It was his father.

02:21Froggy rubbed his eyes.

02:23He had been dreaming.

02:25He was still in bed.

02:27Rise and shine, Froggy, said his father.

02:30It's the first day of school.

02:36This time, Froggy got all dressed.

02:39Zip, zoop, zup, zup, zup, zup, zup.

02:42Then he flopped into the kitchen.

02:44Flop-flop-flop.

02:49He tried to pour milk on his bowl of flies.

02:52But the carton flew out of his hands.

02:55You're just nervous about school, Froggy, said his mother.

02:58Everybody is the first day.

03:02Not me, cried Froggy.

03:08And together they leapfrogged all the way to the bus stop.

03:11Flop-flop-flop.

03:17At school, Froggy found his name tag on his table.

03:21He liked his name.

03:23It was the first word he knew how to read.

03:29It was the only word he knew how to read.

03:32Froggy!

03:34He read it aloud, louder and louder.

03:40Froggy, cried his teacher, Miss Witherspoon.

03:44What?

03:45Hush, dear, it's time to pay attention.

03:52But it was hard to pay attention.

03:54He squirmed.

03:56He looked out the window at the falling leaves.

03:59He felt like a leaf, falling, falling.

04:03He fell out of his chair.

04:05Oops.

04:07Kindly stay in your seat, dear, said Miss Witherspoon.

04:10We'll sit on the floor at circle time.

04:16At circle time, Miss Witherspoon said,

04:19Now, children, today I'd like you to tell us what you did last summer.

04:23Who wants to go first?

04:25Froggy shouted, Me, me, me, me, me.

04:28And so did Max.

04:30Miss Witherspoon went, Clap, clap, clap, clap, clap.

04:33And everybody went, Clap, clap, clap, clap, clap with her.

04:37Then they grew very quiet.

04:39Now, one at a time, said Miss Witherspoon.

04:46When Froggy's turn came, he jumped up and said,

04:50Last summer, I learned how to swim.

04:53And he sang, Bubble, bubble, toot, toot, chicken, airplane, soldier.

04:57Everybody jumped up and joined in.

05:00Bubble, bubble, toot, toot, chicken, airplane, soldier.

05:07When, uh-oh, in walked the principal, Mr. Mugwort.

05:12Bubble, bubble, oops, cried Froggy,

05:15looking more red in the face than green.

05:18Mr. Mugwort glared at him.

05:20Then he joined in.

05:22Bubble, bubble, toot, toot, chicken, airplane, soldier.

05:25Till the bell rang for recess.

05:31When Froggy flopped off the bus after school,

05:34his father said, Froggy, how was your first day of school?

05:38Great, said Froggy.

05:40I taught the principal how to swim.

05:43Hmm, that's nice, said his mother.

05:46But where's your lunchbox and baseball cap?

05:49Oops, I left them at school.

05:52Oh, Froggy, will you ever learn, said his mother.

05:56That's why I'm going to school, Mom.

05:59And together they leapfrogged.

06:03All the way home, flop, flop, flop.
