‘Living a frog’s life is no easy feat: Frog jumps and plays, jumps and swoops, trying to escape the snips, and snaps of all sorts of animals in the forest. Of course, he will survive the day and be with his friends in the end. The illustrations are very clever and the young readers will enjoy all the pretty sounds made on each page.’
