Farmer Beans and the Pantry Frog

A truly delightful story! It is exciting to see that so much excellent Australian and New Zealand literature is coming to light in this country now. This is the story of Ralph, a frog of determined disposition, who decides on an illicit move into the farmhouse. He is gently taken further and further afield by the farmer each morning only to return each evening until he is finally driven away by car and so can no longer find his way back. After too peaceful a night the farmer and his dogs realise that they have come to miss him and set out to try to get him back.
