Review Text: Froggy and his family are headed for a dream vacation on the famous island of Hawaii. Froggy's got big plans: e.g. swimming with the sea turtles, seeing a volcano up close, and surfing in giant waves. When Froggy goes on vacation to Hawaii, he is too excited to pay attention to his parents. At the airport, Froggy leapfrogged over others and falls flat on his face. In Hawaii, Froggy sets out to find his own adventures. He attempts a ninja fight with a coconut tree. He also does a hula dance and makes mynah birds laugh. Froggy's fans will laugh out loud at his hilarious antics. 


Activities:
