Wendy the Wide-Mouthed Frog

 
Wendy the Wide-Mouthed Frog
Sam Lloyd
 

Here the tradional tale of the big wide-mouthed frog is given the Sam Lloyd treatment. With her big, sparkly mouth and her twinkly jewels, Wendy reckons she's FAR too good for the jungle she lives in. She loves to go around rubbishing the other creatures . . . until she comes across Sid the Squid and discovers that he EATS wide-mouthed frogs!

ou're not so Scary, Sid!
 
You're not so Scary, Sid!
Sam Lloyd
 

Sid is a monster who fancies himself as big and scary and a finger-nibbler but who, when faced with a selection of fluffy bunnies and newborn chicks, quakes with terror and runs home crying to his mummy who gives him his favourite for tea - fish FINGERS! Lots of opportunities for interaction with the reader and child who is being read to, with questions and suggestions made in the text.

Calm down Boris!
 
Calm down Boris!
Sam Lloyd
 
Boris is a very loving monster - if only he didn't get so over-excited! He frightens everyone away with his over-enthusiasm, and some of the other little monsters in the playground don't want to play with him . . . until a big, growly dog jumps over the fence, and Boris saves the day!
