The Wide Mouthed Frog

Lift the flaps book. 2-5yrs.

I'm a big wide-mouthed frog and I eat flies, says the chirpy big wide-mouthed frog to the kangaroo, the koala, the possum and the emu. Who are you, and what do you eat? Then the frog meets a crocodile - and finds out that sometimes it's better to keep your big wide mouth shut!

Wendy just can't keep her wide-mouth shut! But what can you expect from a frog who thinks she's so fabulous? Youngsters will love the brightly coloured drawings and sparkly hand puppet that can be used to act out the story as Wendy travels through the jungle making fun of Max the Monkey, Henrietta Hippo and Jimmy the Giraffe. But while on her journey, Wendy is about to be in for a big surprise. Will she learn her lesson when she meets up with Sid the Squid, who eats wide-mouthed frogs?

Children will love to join the cocky wide-mouthed frog as he sets off to introduce himself to the world. With its lovable protagonist and impressive pop-up characters, this well-known comic story with a twist is sure to be read time and time again.

Young readers will enjoy following the wide-mouthed frog as he cheerily asks all the other animals what they like to eat. Michael Terry's expressive illustrations perfectly convey the grass-eating zebra, fruit-eating toucan, banana-eating monkey, shrimp-eating flamingo and leaf-eating giraffe. But what will happen when frog meets crocodile?

Tired of eating the bugs his mother feeds him every day, a young wide mouthed frog visits the zoo to find out what other animal mothers feed their babies, discovering in the process that what is good for other animals is not necessarily good for wide mouthed frogs and, to his horror, that he himself would make the perfect meal for one animal in particular.

Play the funniest game of hide and seek ever with Fergus, a bear who's very, very bad at hiding. The hilarious illustrator of I Don't Want to Be a Frog brings picture book fans a super-silly, interactive story that will have children giggling from start to finish. Follow huge, loveable Fergus and see all the many ways in which he is TERRIBLE at playing hide-and-seek, such as standing behind a VERY tiny tree ("Found you, Fergus! That was too easy!") or trying to camouflage in a giant crowd of bunnies and squirrels ("Try bears, Fergus. Bears!"). But wait! The game isn't over yet! The last two pages fold out into a giant panoramic look-and-find scene, where Fergus is well and truly hidden, and young readers can have fun looking for him and lots of other details in the the crowd. There are hours and hours of play value in this adorable book. Children will want to come back to it again and again.
