Amazon Editorial Review:
For the first time ever, Kermit the Frog, the world's most famous amphibian shares his own story in a funny, heartfelt book about his life and yours. After telling the tale of his remarkable career, and about all the amazing people (like Jim Henson) and pigs (like you-know-who) he's met along the way, Kermit shares his advice on many of life's milestones:
Growing up- Every tadpole must drop their tail. How to get the drop on life.
Falling In Love--Hollywood romance, interspecies dating. No one knows more about love than this frog.
Starting a Career--Kermit climbed out of the swamp and into Hollywood, where he even worked naked. (Still does, in fact). How to make a big splash in life.
Managing your Finances--Making it easier to make green…and keep it.
Enjoying the Good life--Friends, laughter…and sharing “Fridays With Fozzie”.
Before You Leap: A Frog's Eye View of Life's Greatest Lessons. A Perfect Gift for Graduates, Retirees, Parents, Pigs, Bears, Penguins and anyone else still looking for their very own rainbow connection.

This is just the cutest book! A wonderful RABCK from dg7500 which I neglected to journal when I recieved it on Saturday but it kept me company this week and it was a fun easy read. I may RABCK if no one asks for it first.
Thanks Joy! You always know how to make me smile. (Check out the thank you threads if you want to know what else was sent with this book!) LOL

From a Mysscyn bookbox. Thank you!
rabck from Mysscyn; Cute Life lessons book written by the one and only - Kermit the Frog! With chapters from some of the other muppets, including Fozzie the Bear and Miss Piggy. There really are life lessons in here, buried amongst the muppet humor. Very cute read. It's a tag-it-forward book, once I get the BC'rs address.

CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:
A tag-it-forward from the tag game, and an ultimate challenge participation thank you. Enjoy!
When you said you had a book from my wishlist, I was excited. When I opened up the envelope to see this book I clapped my hands for joy and wanted to sing and dance! I cannot wait to read the word's of wisdom from everyone's favorite newsfrog and green movie star! Thank you for sending this -- it made my week!
I couldn't resist reading this book right away, because it provided a nice light balance to some of my more grim current selections. Now I must figure out what to do with it.
Wonderful words of wisdom from everyone's favorite show business frog. Learn some of the secrets of his relationship with Miss Piggy (it isn't as smooth an interspecies romance as you might expect). Hear about his tadpolehood in the swamp with Mom the Frog, Dad the Frog, and 2353 siblings. Plus some great advice from his and his Muppet friends about truths learned along the way to fame and fortune and even after they arrived.
The advice is pretty darn good and pretty darn standard, all in all, but what makes it special is that it is the frog's eye view of life. The pure Kermit-ness of this makes it special, from his comments on learning to ride a bike with a banjo on his knee (and you thought it was hard when you learned!) to knowing that honesty is the best policy, even if it gets you cold-cocked by a diva pig. He includes advice on aging from Statler and Waldorf, handling fame from Miss Piggy, and healthy eating from the Swedish Chef. I would recommend this to others and might even buy a copy of it for them to enjoy.

I saw that this little gem was on the wishlist of someone in the UK, so Mr the Frog is hopping across the pond. Happy travels, Kermie!

Thank you so much for sending me this book! I may just have to bump it to the top of TBR mountain and read it next. I'd better not let my frog loving little sister see it, or it will disappear for ever :) . I plan to keep Kermit circulating when I'm finished with it.

What a gorgeous book! I loved all the photographs and had a really good chuckle all the way through at the hilarious dialogue. I found out many things about Kermit and the Muppets histories that I previously didn't know. I was a bit doubtful about the self help section, as I've never read anything self-helpy before. I should have never doubted! I found self-help Muppet style contains many pearls of wisdom amongst the giggles.
A surprise Christmas book from Shahrun - oh joy - what a gorgeous book! I am so happy and I wish you and yours a Merry Christmas, a Happy New Year and all the best for 2014! I hope I can return the favor sometime ;)
