"Something I look out for every Christmas is a new Frog book . . .

Get them all." Joanna Carey, Books for Keeps

Frog is sad. He wants to weep but he doesn't know why.

Rat tries to cheer him up but only succeeds in making him cry!

And then, at last, Frog starts to laugh . . . until everyone is laughing.

Frog is happy again and Little Bear, for one, is very relieved.

With gentle humour Max Velthuijs explores the mysteries of moodiness

and the relief that follows its banishment in this twelfth story about

Frog, his feelings and his friends.

Frog also stars in Frog in Love, Frog and the Birdsong, Frog and the Stranger,

Frog in Winter, Frog is Frightened, Frog is a Hero, Frog is Frog,

Frog and the Wide World, Frog and a Very Special Day, Frog Finds a Friend

and Frog and the Treasure - all available from Andersen Press.
