    About this ebook

    This is a story of a frog who complains about his circumstances, oblivious to the fact that he himself has created the problem. As with all the books in the Stories for Children and their Adults series, this story is written in a delightful singsong style and can be enjoyed by both children and adults alike, yet it can also be used as a tool to explore deeper issues. Specifically, this story deals with the externalization of blame and the need to look inward and accept responsibility for the consequences of ones own actions.
