One of the sweetest children's books you'll ever read!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This was one of my favorite books as a child and my children (ages 8 and 3) have both loved it. It is a very sweet story about a frog who has big dreams for his dream house. Through the encouragement and support of his new friend, Gertrude, he is able to accomplish the task. We have over 200 children's books at my house and this is one of about five books that my kids keep coming back to (maybe because they enjoy listening to me tell it--I never get tired of it!). Put this on your "must read" list for your kids! I'm so thrilled that it is still on the market (mine is probably 30 years old) so I can buy it for all of my friends who are having babies! It's a great story about gratitude that adults can benefit from, too.
A frog love story..done right.

Bullfrog needs a little help building his "pad on the pond". Gertrude, a new friend, comes the rescue and makes herself indespensible to Bullfrog. Once the house is complete, Bullfrog realizes that life alone in this new house just isn't that great...so it's time to bring Gert back...for good. Quality illustrations, simple dialog. Quite appropriate from 3 years of age and up. This is one that my own children ask to read over and over.
Fantastic, Cute book for Young Children

I absolutely loved this book as a child. The drawings--wonderful colors--are fantastic. I am not sure why it is not more well known. Great book for young children--perhaps particularly young girls.
