About this book
Frog doesn't want to sit on a log - logs are knobbly and uncomfortable and can give you splinters in your bottom. But Cat is insistent. Every animal has a right and proper place to sit. Frogs sit on logs, cats sit on mats and hares sit on chairs. Rather less comfortably, lions sit on irons and storks sit on forks.
As frog fires questions at Cat, he discovers where gorillas, puffins and wizards should sit until the answer to his final question keeps him quiet for a very long time!
Bright, bold, expressive illustrations add to the fun in this hilarious picture book with a knockout ending.
