Tap, tap, tap…

Frog thinks there’s no one else in the forest, but you never know what’s just around the corner…

Celebrated creator Anna Walker invites us to hear with our eyes as we do follow the Frog on a rollicking escapade in this pitch – perfect pre – school soundscape.

A very cheeky little frog explores the forest and encounters all kinds of creatures, from the little fish in the water to the big crocodile looming on the bank. When the rain comes, the frogs all splish and splash in the puddles before curling up for a very well- deserved rest.

The illustrations are bright and textural, giving the lush feeling of wandering through the forest. A lively and highly enjoyable read.
