What’s it about?
The story.
Autumn is here and winter is on its way, and Froggy is ready for all the fun the changing seasons bring - cosy fires, leaping into piles of leaves and plenty of pondside mischief. There's just one problem: his friends are slowing right down, getting ready to sleep the cold months away. Will Froggy be lonely once everyone has settled in to hibernate, or will he find new adventures and new company to see him through? Paige Walshe's second Froggy comic keeps everything that made the first so loveable - the bright, cheery palette, the sharp comic timing and the small frog with the big heart - while adding a gentle thread about seasons, change and the ache of missing your friends. Warm, funny and beautifully drawn, it's a perfect cosy read for autumn and a lovely early graphic novel for fans of Frog and Toad, Narwhal and Jelly and Bumble and Snug.
