When Kit and Peedie find a cluster of frog eggs by the pond and Peedie frets over keeping them safe, Kit reaches for an easy comfort: the Great Frog will look after them. The trouble is that Peedie keeps asking questions, and the Great Frog keeps getting bigger, with a horse in the stars, a castle on the moon, and a whole mythology spun out of a sister's good intentions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a quietly philosophical story about the difference between something being made up and something being true, and it lands somewhere genuinely tender. Palazzola's mixed-media art gives the Great Frog's world a rich, dreamy texture while keeping the kids drawn in simple, funny lines, and the book is told in four chapter-like sections, each with small inset drawings that track the eggs as they grow. A debut from an author-illustrator with a real feel for how children think. Kit's Science Notes and an author's note round things out at the back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHardcover\u003cbr\u003eAges 4–8\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Neal Porter Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45381372969007,"sku":null,"price":24.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0072\/7285\/7647\/files\/TheGreatFrog.jpg?v=1779474929","url":"https:\/\/www.parkette.ca\/products\/the-great-frog","provider":"Parkette.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
