Happy Frog Jumping Day

The roots of Frog Jumping Day go back to Mark Twain's first short story. It was first published in 1865 as "Jim Smiley and His Jumping Frog". Later, he published it as "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County".
There are several ways you can celebrate Frog Jumping Day:
  • Read Mark Twains story "Jim Smiley and His Jumping Frog"
  • Make a frog craft. You'll find plenty of them at daniellesplace.com or just click HERE.
  • "Speak" in frog today! End all of your sentences with ribbit. Ok, not the best if you're in the public relations field, but fun if you're home with the kids!
  • Have a rousing game of leapfrog!

Whatever you do today, take a moment to have a little frog fun and thanks Mr. Twain for your classic books that follow us through history.
