About this book
Frog has had enough of being sat on, so it's time to change the rules. This time, dogs will not sit on frogs - they will sit on logs, which is where they belong. Cats will sit on gnats, bears will sit on stairs and whales will sit on nails.
Both cat and dog listen to frog while he clarifies where slugs, cheetahs, dragons and kittens and other animals must now sit, until they finally ask the question we're all dying to know: 'What are frogs going to sit on?'
This is a side-splitting follow up to the hugely popular Oi Frog! which blends the winning formula of bright eye-catching illustrations with witty rhyming text. With another great ending, this is a great book for sharing.
Winner of the 2017 Federation of Children’s Book Groups Children’s Book Award – Younger Children’s category winner.
