When you have a necktie featuring frogs on lily pads, you have to wear it on a great holiday called National Frog Jumping Day! It occurs annually on 13 May, and it is related to the four-day-long International Frog Jump, at the Calaveras County Fair (in California). Legend has it that Mark Twain overheard a story in a local tavern that inspired his first published work, "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County." Our own stuffy green frog jumped into our home through the book "It's Mine!" by Leo Lionni.
