Frogs

Two frogs are playing a staring game – and they don't realize how far this simple activity will take them.

On an early summer morning, the green friends meet on the shore and agree: whoever sees the other first wins. Lunch goes by, a thunderstorm rumbles, leaves fall from the birches, a dragonfly approaches the cornflower – and the frogs continue to sit and stare at each other. The poems of Sergey Kozlov, the author of "The Hedgehog in the Fog", and the warm watercolor illustrations by Viktoria Kirdiy turn the short story into a cozy read-aloud experience.

The small format of the series "Little Pages" is easy to hold in children's hands, and the rhythmic lines are easy to memorize, helping the little one feel the beauty of their native language and the change of seasons.
