Friendship wins the day in this fabulously funny quarrel! Two frogs
sit on an ordinary little rock. But . . . uh-oh! Both frogs think
it's their rock - and they really don't want to share! The frogs
fight and squabble furiously. But when a hungry heron swoops down,
both frogs realise it's time to find another rock . . . together!
Kaye Umansky's brilliantly simple rhyming story shows how two
grumpy frogs go from fighting . . . to friendship (with lots of
laughter along the way.) Alice McKinley's hilarious illustrations
bring to life every twist and turn of this wonderfully witty little
drama. Written in absolutely perfect rhyme, this story is a joy to
read aloud. Every parent and child will identify with these
squabbling frogs. An excellent (and very funny) lesson in how to
resolve a quarrel! Kaye Umansky is one of the UK's best-loved
children's authors. She is a brilliant comic writer, and is the
award-winning creator of the bestselling Pongwiffy fiction series.
Her superb rhyming picture books have echoes of Dr Seuss. Alice
McKinley's illustrations are full of warmth and humour, and packed
with clever details to spot.
Ireland, the Emerald Isle, is famous for its checkerboard landscape
of green fields and hedgerows. Its coast showcases sandy beaches,
mudflats and saltmarshes, Atlantic Rainforests, rocky shores and
cliffs, all home to a staggering variety of wildlife. Ireland's
coastal waters are among the best in Europe to see whales and
dolphins and other rare marine animals. The Crossbill Guide Ireland
is the authoritative wildlife and nature travel guidebook to that
island and includes both the Republic of Ireland and Northern
Ireland. The book provides insights into how this varied landscape
came into being with a description of its flora and fauna. The book
combines this background with carefully selected hiking and driving
routes that cover the best places to discover Ireland's wildlife
and ecosystems. If you want to explore Ireland's wild side, this is
the book you need.
