The Frog Olympics
Laugh out loud with this wonderfully funny and charming picture book story about frogs coming together from around the world to particpate in and celebrate their 'Frog Olympics'.
The rhyming text is brilliant to read out loud at home or in the classroom.
Great for discussion starters about the Olympics and to talk about inclusion and how people, or frogs, of every size and ability can take part in the Olympics.
Humorously illustrated by Amy Husband, the frogs will really leap off the page.

A fun book that could facilitate discussions about sports, competitions and inclusion (frogs from all over the world and of all ages/abilities have come together to participate in the "Frog Olympics"). Not a story as such, but a good quick read.

Borrowed from Jack’s school before the big lockdown, just returned. Not bad. At least we got to experience ONE Olympics this year.

Pretty cute story, and timely now, but it is very hard to find in the US.
