'Frogs like to bop. Can you touch the sky'

Is that you by Gregg Dreise is a board book that encourages young readers to learn new verbs and adverbs: frogs bop, snakes slide, lizards hide, Tasmanian devils growl...can you make a low roar

Filled with adorable and distinctive illustrations from the creator of the 'Silly Birds' series, this story is a great book for beginners and sits beautifully alongside Gregg's other board book Where's my baby (2023).
