Friendship wins the day in this fabulously funny quarrel!
Two frogs sit on an ordinary little rock. But . . . uh-oh! Both
frogs think it's their rock - and they really don't
want to share!
The frogs fight and squabble furiously. But when a hungry heron
swoops down, both frogs realise it's time to find another rock
. . . together!
Kaye Umansky's brilliantly simple rhyming story shows how two
grumpy frogs go from fighting . . . to friendship (with lots
of laughter along the way.)
Alice McKinley's hilarious illustrations bring
to life every twist and turn of this wonderfully witty little drama.
Written in absolutely perfect rhyme, this story
is a joy to read aloud.
Every parent and child will identify with these squabbling frogs.
An excellent (and very funny) lesson in how to resolve a quarrel!
