Bradley McGogg, the Very Fine Frog by Tim Beiser, illustrated by Rachel Berman 2009
Bradley awakens one morning, in his home in the bog, to find that his cupboards are bare. He decides to ask his neighbors for a bite to eat, and sets out gleefully. He soon discovers that all animals do not eat alike. Why would any creature want to eat something as disgusting as cheese, or as sticky as honey? He politely refuses, and arrives home to find his favorite food creeping and crawling all over the place.
This book illustrates, in a fun and whimsical way, that not all creatures (or humans for that matter) have the same customs or habits. Differences aren’t bad, and they certainly make the world around us a more interesting place.
Appropriate for ages 2-6
