From acclaimed children's writer Eve Bunting comes a beginning reader series featuring the delightful Frog and his friends Rabbit, Possum, Raccoon, and Squirrel. Welcome to Frog and his world. He enjoys nothing better than spending time floating in his pond or visiting with his friends. He appreciates the simpler things in life and would prefer that things stay just the way they are - nice and peaceful.  In the first book Frog is alarmed when he finds a strange object in his pond and solicits help from his friends, he tries to re-gift a scarf and discovers that perfection is all in how you look at it, and he makes friends with a runaway hippo whom he has to convince not to stay "forever" at his pond.  Retro-style artwork by illustrator Josée Masse gives a fresh, distinctive look to this new series.
