About this book

Two frogs argue over a small rock where they’ve both set up camp, each insisting ‘this rock is mine!’ Concerned ants and other insects observe their increasingly ridiculous arguing with brilliantly drawn exasperated expressions.

Then a common enemy arrives. It turns out this is actually a heron’s rock – and the two frogs must hurry to find a new picnic spot. They do this together and find that they can live in perfect harmony after all. Hooray! 

This is a great book to open conversations about the joy of sharing and compromise with little ones – and giggle about the silliness of bickering! The illustrations by Alice McKinley are funny and detailed so there is loads to explore in this gorgeous book!
