It almost sounds as though they each need to be expanded, given more illustrations and published as three separate titles.<br />Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05962552429792516213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372511622978085955.post-4774849614225627782016-10-23T17:36:54.637+01:002016-10-23T17:36:54.637+01:00Hi Tracy,

Perhaps a book to grow with? One story when younger, the next as the age progresses, and so on? In either case, I agree on the cover! ^-^Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01067420839553243250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372511622978085955.post-29699802966537257852016-10-21T22:43:20.448+01:002016-10-21T22:43:20.448+01:00Sounds like it might be a good book to grow with r...Sounds like it might be a good book to grow with rather than one age. Good to know! I would also personally have to agree and think that all books should have more illustrations. :)Melissa (Books and Things)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00074452958853212024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372511622978085955.post-81682387961704882722016-10-21T20:14:46.938+01:002016-10-21T20:14:46.938+01:00Tracy, I enjoyed this review by you and Plum.

I loved this cover of this book, and I think I would have loved the story about the frog too. Growing up, those were the kinds of stories I was drawn to.

So cute! But it does seem odd that a children's book doesn't have more illustrations in it. After all, that's a large part of the appeal at that age. Heck, I still enjoy a well-illustrated book.
