More than mere lighthearted prose about two frogs, this sizzling commentary on politics uses dazzling wit and dry humor to create a mythical world where the struggle of right against might is a source... This description may be from another edition of this product.
What a great little book! I don't whether to give Foolish Diversions to my niece, the HOA at my building or the city of Decatur where I live! I found myself smiling about these eccentric characters long after I was done with the book-they are quite the loveable characters. I can imagine this book being read aloud or performed as a play - I would love to hear and see the characters come to life. I think this crazy life we live begs for book that are simple and good hearted and this book fits the bill. It's obvious the author gave a lot of thought about what it is like to be an animal and then transferred those thoughts to a story where you forget they are animals! I think younger readers will learn from and appreciate the friendship between individuals very different from one another. Foolish Diversions is a fabulous tale of friendship and loyalty, both touching and adventurous. I can't wait to have the next adventure in my library!

Couldn't Stop Reading

I love a good mystery and Foolish Diversion is just that. But I really love cool, interesting characters. All through the book I could just see Triple T in his fedora strutting w/ his silver-tipped walking stick and Herman quietly munching on oatmeal cookies, sipping a hot cuppa tea. These guys are some pretty smart frogs. Sure, they solve the mystery of the Diversion Project but they have a good time doing it. Once I got started reading Foolish Diversion, I just couldn't find a good place to put it down. I can't wait until their next story comes out!
