Hey, Frog!

by Piet Grobler

Frog is so thirsty that he drinks up the river, the lake, and all the puddles in the savannah, so the other animals try to get frog to give up the precious water that their lives depend on, but it is not until the eels tickle frog under his armpits that the water comes rushing out of his mouth.

This tale of a greedy frog is filled with detailed pictures filled with all sorts of animals. When frog drinks up all the water, all the other animals plot to get him to give it back. One by one they put their plans into action - but frog keeps his lips clamped shut. But the eels know a secret about frog...and their plan is successful in returning the water to the puddles, the brook, the river and even the big, blue lake.

this was an okay story, with good drawings.

african animals put pressure on frog to spit out all the water he's drunk because there is no more water left. he refuses, but finally the eels overcome him with their secret knowledge that he's ticklish! water is recovered. animals are happy and only a little bit interested in reprimanding frog.

I thought this book was hilarious. I loved the water color illustrations and I think the illustrator captured the animals aggravation perfectly. Funny stuff but that is coming from somewhat of a goofball.

A good progressive, problem-solving tale with a happy ending for everyone.

This is a retelling of the aboriginal folktale of Tiddalik the biggest frog in the world.
