The Unhappy Frogs
language
(21st Century Press Nov. 8, 2013)
This book, along with the classic illustrations, is adapted from a book originally published in 1875. The story teaches contentment and God’s protection during times of trial.
A family of frogs sat talking one evening, as frogs so often do. In the discussion the subject of how they were not happy with the surroundings in which they lived came up. Old Uncle Spotty-coat told them of his journeys to the big city. So it was voted on as a group that they would set out to find the luxury and opportunities of the big city so they could raise their kids with all the creature comforts a big city could offer. Thus begins the tale of the unhappy frogs told wonderfully in rhyme with beautiful illustrations and backgrounds. Your child will see that the grass isn’t always greener on the other side of the pond as the frog family
encounters danger and adventure along the way.
