Bradley McGogg makes his home in the bog where there are plenty of yummy bugs for a frog to feed on. But one day Bradley finds that his cupboard is bare. He turns to his neighbours to see if they will share their dinner with him. He soon finds out that not all animals eat alike. With its infectious rhyming text and its enchanting art, BRADLEY MCGOGG, THE VERY FINE FROG is bound to become a favourite with children and the people who try to feed them.
This delightful excursion is made even more so because Rachel Bermans illustrations, interpretations of the miniature worlds of mouse nests and bear and hare picnics, are nothing short of entrancing.
The Globe and Mail
Picky eating has rarely been so lauded as it is in this tale of a delicate amphibian diet. An amusing tale, indeed.
