Lilliana and the Frogs

Lilliana, a young nature lover, adores chorus frogs. Her room is already full of frog posters and toys but one night as she listens to frogs singing, she decides to bring home some real, live frogs. Chorus frogs are hard to find and catch, but that won't stop Lilliana!

Oh dear. Chorus frogs areverysmall andveryfast andvery loud. The frogs have escaped! But Lilliana, with a little inspiration, knows just what to do.

Based on author and illustrator Scot Ritchie's fond memories of exploring Camosun Bog as a child (he really did bring home a box full of frogs),Lilliana and the Frogsis a humorous story with playful illustrations that will inspire young readers to explore nature but to leave it outside.
