This endearing
book introduces Splish, who longs to read—all by himself. Mama
tells Splish to be patient and keep trying, and one day it will
happen. Splish wants to believe Mama, but he still sulks
and gets frustrated. In the end, perseverance and patience
(everyone's) are rewarded!

“My children were
inspired by Splish’s determination to read against the odds, and I was
inspired by Mama’s warmth and wisdom. This book is not one to miss. Dive
in and enjoy!” — Jane Bullivant, international author, speaker and
broadcaster (England)
“Mama Frog’s careful handling of her own role in her son’s learning
process felt like a webbed pat on the back for this homeschooling mother,
who has had to explain to others why following a child’s lead really is
the best way to foster reading independence. . . . Suarez’s dedication to
keeping first things first is apparent; I’m fairly certain that I’ve never
seen a children’s book that touts character above learning to read! What a
nice reminder for homeschooling moms, whose days are so often focused on
heads, not hearts.” — Heather Schwarzen, The Old Schoolhouse® Magazine, homeschool crew member
“How I wish I had this book when my dyslexic son was struggling to read.”
— Jeannie Fulbright, author/speaker
“Parents will appreciate the respect and kindness displayed by each of the
book’s characters. You won’t have to worry
about your preschooler picking up any bad attitudes from this book! . . .
After we finished reading the story, my younger
son wanted me to show him all the pictures again. ‘Show me Tia Turtle one
more time!’ . . . ” — Cindy Horton, The Old
Schoolhouse® Magazine, homeschool crew member
“My youngest daughter was engaged from the very beginning of this book,
quickly relating to Splish’s struggle in learning
to read. When my children heard that Mama Frog homeschools Splish, they
noticed - and the excitement showed on their
faces!” — Jolanthe Erb, The Old Schoolhouse® Magazine, homeschool crew
member
“God has designed every child to develop differently and to learn how to
read at their own pace. Gena’s story of Splish is
encouragement for all of us to trust in His perfect plan. This is a must
read for every family who has a child not yet reading.”
— Denise Kanter, ConsideringHomeschooling.org
“I’ve long been convinced that the most effective materials for introducing the young to the joys of reading are those
which are simple without being simplistic, and plain-speaking without patronizing. I was delighted to find that Gena Suarez’s
wonderful book gets it ‘just right.’ I only wish it had been around years ago.” —
Dr. Carl Wieland, founding editor of Creation
Magazine, and head of Creation Ministries International (Australia)
