Review: A fantastically illustrated story about bickering and selfishness which are turned around. Small children will enjoy the text and the pictures. Skilful adult questioning will point children in the direction of the messages about co-operation. Read the other brilliant stories by this author.

Review: I had high hopes for this book based on the reviews but I'm disappointed. The message of the story is not clear at all through the writing. My toddlers main take away from the book is the phrase 'its mine!' - you really have to add lot more explanation as you read it to make it clear that the frogs are happier when they share and it makes the others sad when they don't. The language used doesn't feel right for little ones at all. On the plus side, my son likes the frogs and toad pictures but that's about the only positive.
