Illustrated by
Will Terry.
The frog in this story based on a traditional South American tale has a very big mouth, in that he like to eat and he likes to brag about himself. This almost gets him in trouble--which just gives him something else to boast about. The accompanying paintings of rainforest creatures, though garish, are full of life.
