Valentine Books for Children

Love "knows no boundaries" in this simple story in which Frog is too shy to tell Duck that he loves her.

In this new picture book, Frog presents with strange symptoms. He doesn't know if he is happy or sad, and his heart thumps faster than usual. Hare thinks hard, 'just like a real doctor', and proclaims he must be in love. Frog delights in this diagnosis, and decides the lovely white duck is his heart's desire. 'A frog can't be in love with a duck,' announces the pragmatic pig. 'You're green, and she's white.' Find out what happens in the end!
