About the Authors: Frog is five years old, mottled green
and lives near a pond. His hobbies include jumping,
croaking and eating flies, worms, slugs and beetles.
This is his first book. His co-author Steve Parker is a
highly experienced writer, editor and consultant, who has
written more than 300 books specializing in the natural
world, biology, technology and general sciences.
Well, here we go – my very own diary! I think I should
start with a few notes about me. I’m a frog. I’ve got two
big eyes to see my food and one wide mouth to gulp it
down. I’ve got a tubby green body, two strong back legs
for leaping with, and two small front legs for landing on
– but no tail. My know-all friend Newt tells me that I’m
an amfibian amphibian. He says there are about 4,000
kinds, or species, of them. He is one too! He’s almost as
clever as my human friend Steve Parker, who helped me
to get this book published. There are also illustrations by
Robert Morton, Robin Carter and Philip Bishop, who I
think you’ll agree have captured my natural good looks.
When it’s warm enough, I live in the Pond. It’s very busy.
There are ducks, fish and bugs, as well as lots of other
frogs, and visitors from far away. Life is never dull there,
as you will discover when you read my exciting story!
