PS
A frog goes exploring, asking all the animals he meets, "Who are you, and what do you eat?" After they reply, he shouts, "Well, I'm a big wide-mouthed frog! And I eat flies!" But when the cocky frog encounters a crocodile who eats wide-mouthed frogs, he quickly changes his tune. The book offers no details about the origin of this funny story, which is accompanied by bright, energetic illustrations.
