Frog
Written by Susan Cooper
Illustrated by Jane Browne

Publication date: 2002
Publisher: Random House New Zealand
ISBN: 0-370-32635-0

Summary/Back cover:
Little Joe can't swim, despite having a pool in his backyard and siblings and a Mum who are great swimmers. When a stray frog makes it's way into their pool, it is Joe who is able to return him to the pond he belongs to and in return is given the confidence to start swimming.

Review:
My 2 year old becomes quite fixated by certain things. He loves fish, the movie Despicable Me and currently, this book. As an adult I can't quite see the appeal; the illustrations are fine, but nothing too exciting and the story itself is straight forward but does not have any of the bells and whistles (onomatopoeia or funny voices etc.) that his other favourites have. But there is something about this little frog he adores, so this comes highly recommended to other kids from my one.

My rating: 4 out of 5
