Frogs & Toads
This turn-of-the-century tall tale shows that even a giant frog can be friendly and helpful, when given a purpose and embraced in a spirit of collaboration and community. The townspeople of Empeyville have plenty of work for Joshua, and he is happy to oblige, since every day ends with swimming and playing in the local pond. Amusing illustrations depict small-town life in nineteenth-century upstate New York, and history hops ahead in this Americana tribute to hard work, teamwork, and resourcefulness.
It’s a beautiful day to have a parade! At first, just one little mouse struts down the street, but he’s quickly joined by dancing squirrels, a goat with a tuba, crows in fancy hats, raccoons, cats, dogs, foxes, pigeons, and more. Sporting costumes and suits, animals of all shapes and sizes march round and round the square. Together, they make a beat no one can resist. You’ll want to put on your tutu, grab your tambourine, and start your own parade!
