12 stories revolving around Frog, and his friends Duck, Hare, Pig and Rat. Full of humanity and a thoughtful, gentle approach to the art of living, these books are parable-like in their sureness and lightness of touch. They introduce young readers to profound themes, but like good children's literature, they appeal to adults.
These stories will appeal to pre-schoolers, and can also be used as early readers for the 6-8 year-olds. The pinyin helps put the tentative reader on sure footing, allowing them to understand, empathize and enjoy.
The author, Max Velthuijs, is one of the most famous children's illustrators in the Netherlands. In 2004 he received the Hans Christian Andersen Medal for his "lasting contribution to children's literature".
