Welcome to the world of The Floatingest Frog, a colourful and frogacious picture book sure to delight children and frog lovers of all ages.
The Floatingest Frog, written by Sally Murphy (that's me!) and illustrated by the wonderfully talented Simon Bosch, was released in hardcover in August 2004, and in paperback in 2005.
Ferdinand the Frog wants to outdo his brother Frankie in every possible way. He can jump the farthest, croak the loudest, and even has the longest name! Sibling rivalry soon reaches hilarious heights when Ferdinand pushes his luck too far. Based on an Aesop's fable, The Floatingest Frog is a cautionary tale about being too full of hot air.
This is a great book for sharing at home, with plenty of humour and bold, bright illustrations which littlies will adore. It would also make an excellent classroom sharing book for all ages and fit right in to a unit focusing on frogs or on fables.
