When Rat comes to live at the edge of their wood, the animals decide they don't like having a stranger in their midst.

Frog and Little Bear go off to dig for treasure. "But how do you know there will be treasure?" says Little Bear. "I just know," says Frog.

Frog Finds a Friend:
When Frog finds a teddy bear all alone in the forest, he takes him home. Despite the derision of his friends, he plays football with him in the daytime, and tells him stories.

Frog and the Birdsong:
One autumn day Frog discovers a blackbird lying motionless in the grass. Worried, he asks his friends what can be the matter.

Frog in Love:
In the very first story to feature the loveable amphibian, Frog is feeling most unwell. He keeps getting hot, then cold, and something inside his chest is going 'thump, thump'.

Frog and a very Special Day:
Frog is excited – Hare has promised that today will be a very special day. But when Frog decides to find out why, none of his friends seem to know.

When the rains come and the river bursts its banks, Frog, Duck, Pig and Hare are stranded. It is Frog who is a hero when he risks his life to help his friends.

Frog is Frightened:
Frog and his friends, Duck and Pig, don't believe in ghosts, until they all hear frightening noises in the dead of night.

Frog is Frog:
Frog is not content to be just a plain green frog, he wants to do the things his friends can do. He tries to fly like Duck, to bake cakes like Pig and to read like Hare.

Frog in Winter:
Frog is taken by surprise when winter comes. He doesn't understand why everything is covered with white and he skids and slips on the icy pond.

About the Author:
Max Velthuijs was born in The Hague in 1923. As a toddler already he loved to draw and make up his own stories. At school he was not a particularly brilliant pupil. After finishing school he was ‘a jack-of-all-trades and master of none’. During World War II the family had to move to Arnhem, where Velthuijs studied painting and graphic design at the Academie voor Beeldende Kunsten (Academy of the Visual Arts). He enjoyed these lessons very much, but they came to an untimely end in 1944 when the city had to be evacuated. Once the war was over he moved back to The Hague and began making political prints and received commissions for posters, postage stamps, book jackets, animated films, advertising and T.V. spots. During this time Velthuijs discovered what he wanted to do professionally: illustrate and design books! He became one of the most famous illustrators for children in The Netherlands and received many awards.
