Description

Friendship wins the day in this heartwarming quarrel between two hilariously stubborn frogs.

Two frogs find an ordinary little rock. It’s the perfect place to stretch their legs! But both frogs think it’s their rock—and they really don’t want to share. So what do they do? Why, make a huge fuss and start an uproarious squabble of course! Uh-oh. They’ve caused such a scene, that here comes a hungry heron. Perhaps they should put their differences aside and find a new rock…together?

Jubilant rhyme makes for a witty read aloud in this gleefully illustrated showdown. A lovely reminder on resolving disagreements respectfully, especially for little ones heading back to school or those that are fond of shouting, “Mine!”
