Excerpt Scribbles the Frog had been an unusual tadpole. At a very early age it became clear that he was not destined to grow into your ordinary, garden variety frog. His parents often complained to their neighbors over the fact that their child did strange things, such as going off to a quiet corner of the swamp and spending days deep in thought and contemplation of his surroundings. To the world of frog beings, this was simply useless dreaming. There were flies to be caught and eggs to be cared for and a litany of other practical frog chores to be carried out. Quiet reflection on the purpose of the universe was just not an acceptable way to spend one's time. One fine summer day, Scribbles decided that the pond in which he had been born was too small for him. To his mother's great sorrow, he packed up his lillypad and headed off into the wild unknown. Now for a frog to hop off alone into the land of predators is considered pure frog lunacy by all species. Scribble's brother, jealous of his frivolous sense of independence, warned him that he would end up on a hairless monkey's plate, between the broccoli and the mashed potatoes. But even this horror story could not hold back our adventurous frog from obeying his urge to discover some kind of meaning to it all.

I couldn't think of a better way to spend quailty time with children than sitting down with them and reading these delightful tales to them.
