Frog in Winter
A heart-rending tale of Frog, who has plainly never been told that frogs hibernate in mud at the bottom of ponds in winter. His friends enjoy the snow but when you are 'only a bare frog' it's no fun at all and the poor creature nearly freezes to death. Luckily, he's rescued by kind companions and survives to enjoy the spring. A gentle story about the value of friendship. This could lead on to discussion about animals in winter - certainly something for small children to think about.
