In the midst of it all, readers are introduced to his friends, which include fellow frogs, a crocodile, and a rabbit. Through his adventures, children can learn about colours (literally and figuratively), feelings, and the theme of friendship (which is why I tagged this book under 'concepts').

Frog doesn’t like any other colour apart from green, and especially not pink. He also doesn’t like it when he doesn’t win. When Frog is grumpy, the other frogs go off without him and swim and bounce, but Frog doesn’t want to do those things either. And when he sits alone on his log, he realises that he misses hopping, and misses his friends. We are delighted you have found us and sincerely hope that you are persuaded to visit one of our five beautiful venues.
