Step into a top-secret world where frogs don't just eat flies, they eat danger! This is FROG SQUAD!
Alert! When a distress signal comes in from Croakomo Island, there's only one team brave enough to leap to the rescue! Frog Squad must face an angry swarm of stink bugs to find out who's been stealing poisonous jungle plants. Could it be Professor Cain and The Organisation of Amphibious Devious Scoundrels (TOADS)?
Hello to you! We are Kate and Jol Temple and we write silly books for kids! Some of them love to rhyme and others do not at all but all of them have pictures, because pictures are cool and anyone who says they're not is a two headed yeti. We live in Sydney with our human sons and a dog that thinks it's a raccoon.
We love to visit schools. We talk about and read picture books to little kids preschool through to junior primary. We also love to talk to bigger kids about our chapter books and what it's like being a writer. For more info about our school visits contact us and we'll be in touch.
This is the second book in the Frog Squad graphic novel series from Kate and Jol Temple, the team behind the Bin Chicken books, Underdogs, Jimmy Cook and many more.
Frog Squad imagines a world where a team of frogs are heroes, ready to fight danger as it arises. We join them in their adventure and along the way we get lots of frog-related puns, learn some froggy facts and about some of the real dangers facing our world.
Bungle in the Jungle has Kate and Jol's trademark silliness, but with lots of information sprinkled throughout. This can spark a reader to find out more (e.g. does a Black Rain Frog really always look unhappy? Is the Ecuadorean Glass Frog really see-through?). This and the wordplay make it a good read for readers around Years 3-4. The adventure story itself is fairly simple, but funny & entertaining for this age group.
