Praise for Frog and a Very Special Day

The perfect birthday gift for any young child.

The Bookseller

Frog is an inspired creation - a masterpiece of graphic simplicity.

Guardian

A funny story about this amiable - and rather forgetful - frog

Junior

Max Velthuijs brings a sensitive, gently humorous approach to fundamental issues in this charming tale.

Publishing News

One of a series of books that I love for their beautiful, gentle illustrations.

Lucy Cousins

The simple detail and delightfully straightforward Frog is just lovely

School Librarian

One of my favourite series of books. Many of the books tackle serious life issues and delivers them in a non-threatening and humorous way to children.
