Anderson, Peggy Perry

Joe the frog needs a bath, but he makes the trip to the tub a challenge for his father.

An injured race horse is rehabilitated to carry riders in hippo therapy--horseback riding used as physical therapy.

Not even his babysitter's most strenuous efforts can convince Joe the frog to go to bed.

Joe the frog wants to be on the go, but even at a family reunion he is out of luck, as everyone says they are too busy, or he is too fast, too slow, too big, or too small to go with them, until Grandma invites him to go with her on a special outing.

When Joe messes up his room immediately after his mother has cleaned it, his method of straightening it up again does not meet with her approval.
